With the right practitioner, there is nothing like it. There's certainly a lot of combinations of individual herbs, and that can make assessment of it difficult. Chinese herbalism is the most interesting and effective branch of herbalism (IMO).
There are controversial aspects of it at the edges, but I have only ever been prescribed standard really safe things and have never had any difficulties.
I'm said to be 'spleen deficient', a common pattern in the West, apparently.
