What are you taking the herbs for? I was looking into ordering some for Qi stagnation. What kind are you taking??

I have taken a variety of TC herbs over the past year and have had great successes with some and so-so successes with others. The one that worked the best for my digestive problems is an herbal formula called Six Gentlemen.

Alaien B,
What are you taking for Qui stagnation? I am curious because I had a chiropractor want to treat me for qui block to my lungs.

If you decide to go this route do yourself a favor and don't order them on line. It is really imperative that you find a competent practitioner, preferably an OMD, who is skilled in taking the pulses to determine exactly what you need. I have been using Chinese boiling herbs for many years and think they are the best medicine. But the emphasis is on balancing the system, not a quick fix as you might get with allopathic drugs.
