Chinese Herbs

Posted by Beverly at March 15. 2009

Has anyone tried Chinese medicine/herbs?  I am curious about this, and since it does not involve sticking needles all over my body (as in acupuncture), I might be more open to the experience  :)

(I'm not into the needles either!! ;)

I don't know about Chinese herbs in particular, but I do take fish oil and milk thistle. I would definitely ask your doctor about anything in particular though- anything that has any effect on RA could be working on some of the same systems that prescription meds work on, so you'd want to be sure you didn't get some kind of bad interaction!
