It would depend greatly on the underlying causes. Generally in my opinion acupuncture and tuina (Chinese Medical Massage) will lead to far superior results than any Chinese herbal formulas. Restless leg and associated nerve issues respond really well to acupuncture. I treat these issues very frequently in my clinic and unless there is underlying diabetes or some other trauma history I rarely use herbs. And even if there are underlying issues appropriate for herbal treatment, the acupuncture part is still crucial.
