7. I have used Chinese Herbal medicine for many years.

I have not been able to do it for that last 9 months, due to a major debacle with an attempted career change earlier this year, which backfired. I was paying out of pocket for it, but can't afford it for now.

However, I always found it much more effective, for my needs, than regular western allopathic medicine.

I went to a clinic where the main doctor who owns it is both a naturopath, and an acupuncturist. She went to China to learn acupuncture and TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine).

I loved the treatments, and found them highly effective. When my finances improve, I will go back to using that kind of medicine again. They seem to have more effective treatments for those of us who are living with chronic (long-term) problems. I also like how Chinese medicine is focused towards creating wellness rather than just treating symptoms.

Good luck and good health to you.
