Does herbal chinese medicines work?

Question

i have just bought some today. they cost me £17, one smell's like furniture polish and the other smell's of very strong curry powder, I dont want to take them if they are gonna give me smelly breath too. Do they work? They are called Qing Re An Cang Wan and PIFUBING XUEDUWAN??

Oh yeah I got them as I keep getting spots, not sure if it is my contraceptive or just hormones but I am so unhappy, my GP wont sympathise xx

Answer 1

i think it works very well for me for i am Cantonese live in south of china , we have herbal tea which is so famous around china, my city 's weather is so changeable . Acupuncture is good try but still don't have chance to try it yet.. i love my Chinese med .. they works so well on my body ..

Answer 2

I get a liquid for my spots from my chinese doctor. She makes it from fresh herbs and it works a treat.
Chinese medicine doesn't so much treat the symptoms, more the causes. if you really expect it to work for you it would only be fair to ask you to do some reading on chinese medicine theory.
In my experience new herbal centres are sprouting on the High Street and if you like me, visit different towns you realize they are just a huge corporation cashing in on the revival of chinese medicine. Be carefull when you choose your practitioner is all i will say.

Answer 4

I believe in Chinese medicine and natural remedies. However, you need to research and know what you're taking. Some herbs can be toxic, especially if you're pregnant or you have some other medical condition.

Answer 5

Nope,I got some for type 2 diabetes(my mums into alternative medicines,me,I like real drugs,but its my mum you know)
I tried them for a week,and Iv never been as sick in my life.Threw up stuff Id eaten in infant school,felt like death all the time and for about a month after
Weren't cheap either,£96 for a months "treatment"
Dont do it.See if you can get your money back

Answer 6

They often will work well for some, I urge you to take them and don't take toxic allopathic chemical drugs. If you haveno luck with chinese then try an Indian AYurvedic doctor. Better to treat the root cause and not the symptoms.

Answer 7

Well it can't do us anymore harm than the Dr's and other members of the orthodox system have done. i am an alternative medicinal therapist and i would put my life in the hands of a Chinese Dr any day

Answer 8

Giving it a fair chance, I underwent herbal and accupuncture therapy for months in a row. It didn't do squat for me. No change whatsoever in anything except my bank account.

It must work for someone, though. Maybe it is all the placebo effect.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes. And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you. Visit here : https://tinyurl.im/aH1QI to find out what all the fuss is about.
