Traditional herb medicine is good, especially those taste not bitter.

A medicine is still a medicine although it may taste bitter.

Sunday,

The traditional Chinese herb medicine used to cure your illness usually tastes bitter. But tonic traditional Chinese herb medicine doesn't taste better.

In my family (even my late dad and mom) we use Chinese herbs all the time besides the modern medicine.

Unfortunately, Chinese herbs has been foribben in the western countries. In China, the number of experience traditional Chinese medicine doctors is reducing quickly.

Not only in the Western countries, even in my country we can't export herbs unless approved by the pharmaceutical division. For personal consumption, one is allowed to bring not more than 1kg as personal luggage. We have many yisheng from China in Malaysia now.

Wan,

It is difficult for them to understand the functions of traditional Chinese medicine. Some prescriptions even contain scorpion, centepede, snake, house lizard and toad. I am afraid that they will be scared when they see these things.

and also nauseous! When I was in middle school, I decocted medicinal herbs for my mom. I saw a number of earthworms in it, they are really disgusting. I never told my mom about it, and poured the liquid medicine into a bowl for drinking.

Sunday,

There are some strange prescriptions. Strange things like earthworms are used but it really works. Has your mom fully recovered?

I prefer pure herbs, not something with toad legs, etc. Usually I will make sure the yisheng is a herbalist too. In my hometown we call this traditional doctor as sinseh.
