How do you think of the Chinese herbal medicine?

Answer 1

Being a herbalist, I consider the Chinese the master of herbs, one needs to understand that there are many modalities in alternative medicine, and they are all good, when used correctly, and the Chinese/Ayurvedic systems of healing are supreme to any western teaching...and come from ancient history...that is are over 2,000 yrs old.

modern medicine , as we know it today was a decision made by three men in the early to mid 1800s which threw out the Gaelinic/hypocratic systems, which were as the Chinese and Ayurvedic systems.

Answer 2

Chinese Med. is a good form of preventive med. it can be expensive in some cases do your research

Answer 3

there is no reason to suggest that something is a good medicine just because it is herbal, or just because it is Chinese. the only way to show if something is a good medicine is through scientific testing, and the fact of the matter is herbal supplements arn't regulated by the FDA, so long as they don't make specific claims about what they cure they arn't required to actually present evidence.

if your not feeling good go to an actual doctor and figure out what you should take or do to feel better, don't rely on "all natural" "herbal" "drug free" "pie in the sky" junk, rely on the stuff that has the evidence to back up the claims made.
