Chinese Herb Stores?

01.02.09

there is a chinese herb store not too far from my house. i was wondering your thoughts on the products they sell. i was browsing the other day and i saw they have herbal pills, herbs, teas for everything such as digestion, weight loss and many other problems that i would like to solve. please advise if the stores are worth a try and if the herbs might be good with no side effects.

Sounds fine. If you are looking for herbal pills/tablets, they are generally safe and just make sure that the brand you purchase is from a reputable company and there is no added drugs inside and they test for heavy metals, bacteria etc. For example good Chinese herbal companies can be found here: http://www.holisticchineseherbs.com

If you are looking for a custom made herbal formula, it would be best to have one made for you by a certified/licensed herbalist.

    Chinese herbal medicine can be very helpful if used properly. In fact, misuse of ANY herbs can be harmful or even fatal.

    Always use herbs under the instruction of a licensed acupuncturist/herbalist.

    Always make sure the herbs are sourced from reputable suppliers. Some cases of poisoning came from errors from suppliers.

    yes, they can be very effective for such a wide variety of things. Almost anything you can think of. But you have to be educated on what you are doing. Herbs can have adverse reactions if you overuse them or misuse them. Talk to an herbalist or do a lot of research on your own. I educated myself on the herbs I wanted to try. That is how I have done it for the past 10 years and never had any problems. Speaking with someone who is professional trained can be a huge shortcut though.
