[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >-- >~Ray~ Xi Yang Shen (American Ginseng, Radix Panacis Quinquefolii) is often used as a major ingredient in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulas. Other herbs of note are Bai He (Lilly Bulb, Bulbus Lilii), Qin Jiao (Radix Gentianae Qinjiao) and Gou Qi Zi (Chinese Wolfberry, Fructus Lycii)
Chinese herbal therapies are NOT a substitute for Western, Bio-Medical treatments, but may be used in a complimentary fashion.
I do not believe that Da Suan (Garlic) is used in any TCM formulas for Tuberculosis. It is my opinion that anything other than small amounts of garlic in one's food would be contraindicated in TCM for anyone suffering from TB or other consumptive lung diseases.

TB has a tendency to become resistant to antibiotics, so i was curios as to what other things may treat it. -- ~Ray~
