Chinese Herbs

Are there any Chinese Herbs that could be used for post viral syndrome?  Two years ago I came down with shingles on my left leg.  After a steroid epidural my immune system went haywire and attacked all my nerves.  I am about 50% better but still need improvement.

Thank you so much for your reply.  I would like to do that but I am not sure how to find a good practitioner.  I live in northern NJ.  Is there a listing for them that I could use?

Yes, there are many Chinese herbs that have anti-viral properties.  This would definitely be a situation where you would need to consult a practitioner of Chinese medicine to make sure he/she addresses both the viral component and immune system component, since your case is so unique.
