ABSTRACT

Oriental medicines often assist patients who cannot be treated with Western medicines. Although the exact mechanisms of oriental medicines are not known, their clinical usefulness has been proven in various diseases, including geriatric syndrome. In this review we explain progress in oriental medicine and how oriental medicines are effective in treating geriatric syndrome.
