[quote=CHYNAGYRL,233897]I would say try it, but watch for how your body reacts to it.  I think the physical therapies like acupuncture and cupping work for many especially for chronic pain, but I would be careful about anything you need to ingest.   My parents are both Western-educated pharmacists with certificates in naturopathy so they've studied in detail the herbal remedies.  The herbal remedies from Chinese stores are pure so they have a higher amount of active ingredients, compared to say the powdered pills you buy in a Western pharmacy.  That's why the diagnosis and dosage needs to be correct or else it could be too strong.

For instance, my dad got a prescription from an Asian medical doctor for his shaking.  He had a nervous system attack from some kind of virus that the Western neurologists could not identify -- they thought it was some variant of Creutzfeld-Jacobs disease.  So the doctor prescribed some traditional ingredients including herbs and pulverized old dinosaur bone.  In his case, the prescription was too strong, and it caused his gums to bleed when he drank the concoction, so he stopped taking that remedy.
