Default Traditional Chinese Medicine

As much as I dislike the taste or smell of herbs, I must say that it works very well. TCM cures from the core of the problem and possibly preventing it from recurring again. In addition, it strengthens the immune system allowing it grow stronger as time goes by.

I went for TCM for quite a number of months religiously every week and taking medicated soups for at least 5 days a week :freakedout: to cure my indigestion problem. It's tedious but rewarding. Once in awhile I will want to take it as a way of strengthening my system especially with all the yummy food around me. :love4:

Anyone tried TCM here as well? Do share your experience.

That's true. Most of the time we just want to get well faster, so we take western instead.

it depends. Acupuncture is an alternative medicine, which western medicine looks into now.
i believe, combination of west and eastern medicine will complement each other.
But when buying TCM, must make sure that they are legally approved by the ministry. There are some TCm which contains dangerous stuff that may harm your kidney or liver.

Yeah! I only go to reputable TCM for treatments. Herbs to them are also very sacred and it should not be taken if you have nothing wrong. They say that even herbal teas should not be taken lightly cos it's also a form of medicine.
