I think the question is actually: Is there any cure, made from natural herbs, for fibromyalgia.
The answer is technically no. There is no cure of any sort for this disease, although some treatments can recover your quality of life.
There are things you can do to help relieve the symptoms. Mild exercise to keep supple can help and you can use cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to assist in pain management. A balanced diet will help with any illness.
CBT is a therapy that trains your brain to think differently in certain situations and is becoming much more common to treat all sorts of ailments, pretty much anything that can be linked to either psychological problems, causes or, in this case, dealing with a physical illness by using your psychological abilities.
As far as natural remedies to help go, you could use homeopathic sleep remedies to aid rest, or aromatherapy or massage to aid rest and relaxation. Heat therapy can be used to relieve pain.
If ever you visit a therapist for treatment you must always inform them of your illness and tell them what medications you are using, and if you are given anything to treat it by a therapist you must always inform your regular doctor. A good "western" doctor and a good alternative therapist will be willing to work in tandem. If one isn't then find one that is.
I have put a link from WebMD as an overview of the illness, and also a link to show various therapies available. Use the second link for ideas and then consult your doctor or find a local, reputable, qualified practitioner of the therapy you want.
Don't go just buying so called herbal cures online as the chances are you will be ripped off, at best, or could do yourself damage, at worst. You need to see someone who knows what they are talking about. Natural remedies aren't always simple and need a qualified person to help you find what is right.

The medical doctors will tell you no because the poisonous medications can only "treat" symptoms. There are some nutritional and herbal supports which can provide non-toxic support and may help you to return to a normal life. Because the medical-sickness industry controls the law, this would not be considered a cure but if you don't have the symptoms and if you're not taking drugs, you'll have to decide for yourself if that's good enough.
While I am educated in nutrition as well as herbology, I would recommend that you focus on nutrition first. The body has the genetic capacity to repair itself but it needs the "right parts" to do it. Eat less processed food and more whole foods. Try adding more raw fruits and vegetables to your diet. These things can give your body the extra edge to help you feel better and that's going to give you the encouragement to learn more and get even more results.

I suffered a similar illness recently and it has taken me at nearly three months to come out of it. Unfortunately, the Western doctor couldn't help me -his solution was to just take paracetamols, so had to go to a Chinese practioner. He examined my body prescribed me the herbal supplements to help my body slowly gain the strength and rebalance the toxin levels. Though before taking these herbal supplements I had to de-stress and detox my body for a few days, ie fruit and veg, non wheat products and no dairy, caffeine or alcohol and plenty of warm non decaffeinated fluids like peppermint tea, or just hot water and lemon - no cold drinks allowed.
During this time I bought Japanese Takara patches which draw out toxins from your feet or affected area. All body toxins naturally travel down to your legs and feet. By drinking lots of fluid it helps the Takara patches to draw the toxins from you feet. I wore these toxin patches for four consecutive days and amazingly, after 3.5 months of excruciating pain throughout my body, I woke up one morning without pain and paracetamol free.
The herbs from the Chinese doctor were taken just after my detox period because they need to be taken with a healthy balance diet. They are amazing, just after 3 days I already felt stronger. I continue to use the Takara patches though just twice a week and will finish the course of herbs next week
I am nearly back to full health and I am glad I took this alternative route. Check out this website for further details on Western herbal supplements www.health-reports.com otherwise, I strongly recommend you go to a Chinese practioner.
If you want more information about the Takara patches you can contact me by email.
I hope this helps!

There's a cure, & I've heard this from a reliable source, but not with herbs.
You have to go on a protein ONLY diet for one month, you'll definitely see a difference. Protein only means no carbohydrates, etc (please research this to make sure which foods are protein only & avoid all else). Perhaps borrow a book from library about nutrition.
Also protein only doesn't mean you should eat red meat or steaks but soya meat, chicken etc are ok.
