Early this year, 115 people with Parkinson’s were given a combination of traditional Chinese medical herbs, including gou teng, or a placebo for 13 weeks. At the end of the study, volunteers who had taken the herbs slept better and had more fluent speech than those taking the placebo.

Gou teng, also known as cat’s claw, (Uncaria rhynchophylla) is reputed to have anti-spasmodic properties and has been used in China for more than 2,000 years to treat “the shakes,” a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The researchers reported that a gou teng component, called isorhy, was able to help reduce cellular levels of alpha synuclein, and that it worked as well for this as rapamycin, an immunosuppressant drug being studied for Parkinson’s treatment. Unlike rapamycin, which can have serious side effects, the Chinese researchers note that gou teng has been used for centuries with no apparent detriment.

there are numerous other studies on using TCM herbs for treating, science direct, pub med, the lancet
