When I was in the Philippines, I thought I would visit Chinatown to try some Chinese herbal remedies for insomnia, mild depression, and mood swings. The doctor gave me some An Shen, two tablets a day before going to bed. They were great but I've now run out.
I went to visit a Chinese herbal doctor back in the UK to ask if she could give me some more AnShen. She said it was bad to take it long term and instead prescribed some dried sawdust and rat droppings (ok, maybe it wasn't, but it looked like it). They didn't work and were hellishly expensive anyway. Plus I had to take 24 tablets 3 times a day, which again didn't work.
What are the problems with taking Anshen long term? Can I get hold of any in the UK?

Thanks, but the shipping costs to UK far exceed the cost of the product itself. There's no advice either.
