Chen WJ, et al. - In this longitudinal cohort study, the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database was used to analyze the relationship between the use of Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) and the risk of fracture in osteoporosis cases, between 1998 and 2010. They noticed a lower risk of fracture with the use of CHMs like Yan hu suo (Rhizoma Corydalis), Huang Qin (Scutellaria Baicale), Jie Geng (Platycodon grandifloras), Xiang Fu (Cyperus rotundus), Hai Piao Xiao (Cuttlebone Sepium), Jia-Wei-Xiao-Yao-San, Ge-Gen-Tang, Shao-Yao-Gan-Cao-Tang, and Du-Huo-Ji-Sheng-Tang. Hence, they recommended its use into conventional therapy as it significantly reduced the risk of osteoporotic fracture as compared to non-CHM users.
