Hi All. My pdoc said she's not averse to me researching alternative treatments. I thought I might consult a doctor knowledgable in altnernative medicine to get some extra information and ideas (Of course I might have already seen most of the useful information here!).
Anyway, when I aked the gentleman in my local health food store if he knew of any good holistic doctors, he said he was trained in pharmacology and could help me. He said he would check pulses and formulate a custom tea that would have many things in it. I assume this is traditional Chinese medicine (he is Chinese). I hadn't actually considered this particular branch of medicine.
I don't know what to think. Without knowing what to expect in the tea - and he wouldn't tell me any of the potential ingredients - I don't know how to go about figuring out whether it would be safe with my regular medications.
Does anybody here have experience with this?
