Has anyone tried Chinese medicine?On a recent trip to Hong Kong, I was introduced to Chinese Herbal medicine. I took a wrong turn and ended up in the herbal medicine centre near central Hong Kong. At first I was very put off by the vast array of strange creepy crawlies and other weird things but my curiosity got the best of me and I asked one of the shops to create a tonic for me.The doctor first examines you and then tells you the basics about what could be wrong with you, he then tells you the cause and recommends a cure, usually in the form of a tonic.My tonic seemed very off-puting at first (It had a ground up scorpion in it ) but I must admit I've never felt better in my life. I've felt very lethargic for the past few months, but since drinking that tonic, I've felt as though I'm full of energy all the time.So if anyone else has had any run ins with Chinese medicine, then please post your experiences.
