I haven’t had the chance to use it myself because I’m too darn healthy!Oriental medicine has been around for thousands of years and I’m sure if it didn’t work, it wouldn’t still be around.

This is particularly true when there is a serious health problem which requires a quick remedie.

It usually also has the advantage to produce very little or no side effects at all like modern drugs do.

i was prescribed chinese herbs by an acupuncturist as part of this chinese ladys complete treatment of a condition. the whole package, herbs, masage, moxibustion and needles did the job so i believe in the whole thing which includes the herbs as you can see.

Chinese Medicine actually has four parts.1.) Acupuncture2.) Herbology3.) Joint / Muscle Work4.) Energy Work All medicine has its roots out of these four items. Think about it. The four ways we use it in America is with Knife, Drugs, Chiropractic/Physical Therapy, and Prayer. Granted we have basterdized this great system, but thats because we are willing to wait for things to balance themselves out naturally. Instead we want to force the desired result, even at the expense of other results.So – if you want Chinese Medicine, you must better define which part of it you want. Since your question focused on the herbal end – realize that asprin came from willow bark, Valium from valarian, etc. Even doctors are concerned about loosing the rain forest because they may hold the key to the next cure. Almost all drugs have their origins in botanical / herbals. Good luck finding out more. But caution – if you really want to understand it, you must realize that you will have to change your mindset – your way of thinking about health and healing.
