My wife and I attended a dinner talk this evening on traditional Chinese Medicine. It is all about balance or yin and yang. There are different herbs that is cooling or heaty in nature. Different herbs has medicinal effects on human. Some contains active drugs like phyto-estrogen (tang kwei) or ginsenosides (ginseng). The drugs do acts like western medicine.
It is good to learn more about Chinese herbs. My big concern is all the chemicals that may come with the herbs as they are likely to be treated with pesticides or growth hormones.
