some of your health problems. Followings are some of folk tips
used by Chinese in

may not replace your professional treatments. You may try it if
you have no time to visit your doctor, have no money to go to
him, or if he fails to help you with chemical drugs, or the
professional treatments have caused side effects that you cannot
tolerate any longer, or you suffer from the trouble again and
again while the biomedical system found nothing wrong in your
body.

It is well known
among Chinese that some tips work even much better than doctor's
prescription. A good TCM doctor does not and should not refuse
to use such “simple” tip for his patients. So many times, we
know the tips (as well as the whole TCM) work, though we do not
know why it works from modern science point of view. There are
so many mysteries around us, even if modern science has tried so
hard to understand it.
