Endometriosis is a chronic health complaint that is experienced by
up to 10% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis results in
significant psychological and financial burden. Surgical and

of endometriosis within one year is common. Many women use
complementary and alternative therapies when the response to
conventional medical treatments is inadequate.The latest book in
the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine series uses a 'whole
evidence' approach to summarise the management of endometriosis
with Chinese medicine treatments. The current understanding of
endometriosis - including symptoms, diagnosis and treatment - is
summarised from conventional medicine and Chinese medicine
perspectives. Next, a systematic approach is used to understand how
endometriosis was treated with Chinese medicine in past
eras.Internationally recognised scientific methods are used to
identify and evaluate the clinical evidence for Chinese herbal
medicine, acupuncture and related therapies. The potential
mechanisms of herbal medicines are identified from experimental
studies. The final chapter synthesises the evidence from the
different literature sources and offers suggestions for
contemporary clinical practice and future research.This book is a
handy desktop reference for both clinicians and students of Chinese
and integrative medicine. It provides a comprehensive synthesis of
both traditional and contemporary knowledge that can inform

interest in a particular health condition such as herpes zoster and
its common sequelae post-herpetic neuralgia have to consult a
variety of sources to further their knowledge. Typically, they use
the contemporary clinical literature to understand the theory,
aetiology, pathogenesis and obtain expert opinions on the Chinese
medicine management of herpes zoster and post-herpetic neuralgia.
They search the electronic literature to identify systematic
reviews of clinical trials, if any exist, to obtain assessments of
the current state of the clinical evidence for particular
interventions. If they have the skills and resources, they may
search the classical Chinese medicine literature for an historical
perspective on treatments that have stood the test of time.This
book provides all of this information for practitioners in one
handy, easy to use reference. This allows practitioners to focus on
their job of providing high quality health care, with the knowledge
