I would prefer to use Eastern Medicine over Western Medicine. I wish there was more available to us. But the pharmacuetical companies have serious control over medicine in the USA.

i remember m mom forcing us to take this chinese vitamin that would help us grow. it was so yucky, taking it would make us gag. but we did take it and sad o say, i haven't grown more than my 4'11" height now. lol. but i do use the liniments quite liberally.

I'm really interested in Chinese medicine. I was really unset though. There is a chinese medicine 'shop' that has opened up in our local shopping mall, and I went in there and asked if they mahe anything for migraines. The man handed me something, and I asked him if it was purely herbal (i.e. no animal ingredients - becaue I'm vegetarian). He suddenly became very unfriendly and said 'yes of course'. I was alarm4ed by his change of attitude, and asked if I could read the ingredients, which he then almost threw at me. I saw on them something that looked like some animal semen?! Do you have any idea what this could be?
Anyway I really wasn't pleased at his attitude to me just enquiring about the ingredients, so am never going back there! I may well still give other Chinese Herbalists a try though.

I thing that Chinese are the best in medicine.
They invented the most medicine they were the first to understand how the human body works.I heard that Chinese were a head of the rest of the world until they have been concured and all their knowlige had spred to the entire world.
I all so heard that every desise that you have the Chinese has a cure of three days.

I heard about usefulness of chinese herbal medicine and once got from a source stimulous herbal tablet but I did not get expected result swallowing those. But many herbal medicine took my one friend for worm, muscles pain gave unique result to her.

I never had a chance to try chinese medicine before, so I can't say for sure.

there are a lot of chinese traditional medicines or even newly developed medications that are out here in the philippines. and basically i think most of them are really great. but really you have to be careful on some you have to know if it has an original patent because there are some fake that isnt really effective and might be dangerous

I have never used chinese medicine but I have tried Tongan medicine which is nearly the same as you say they use herbs like the chinese do that is why there are so many that live there now and I do know that it is bitter but the main thing is that it make you better.
