Hi everyone
Just wondering if anyone has used chinese traditional medicine in their journey to conceive. I've visited a chinese acupuncturist to regulate my veeerryyy looooooooong cycles (56 days) and he has also prescribed a herbal prescription to aid this (and to help me sleep). Has anyone else had the same thing, and how did it work for them? I'm a bit nervous, this is as far removed from Western medicine as I have ever gone and it is a bit weird! I guess though it's worth giving herbs a short before chemicals (eg western medicine)? |

Hi
I would have faith in the traditional medicines. They are tried and true and have been so since long before Western Medicine came around. I would also suggest trying a thing called Colour therapy. Totally painless and drug free. It does make you sleepy, but I have found that a small price to pay for the many benefits I have gained from CT over the years. Am considering going to visit to help TTC. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My acupuncturist is starting me on chinese herbs this week, too. I've heard they're pretty gross, but I'm keen to try them as I did see a success story on From Here to Maternity. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Hi Treen, yes I saw the same show and thought of that lady too. Yep the herbals are pretty gross, have found the trick is to drink through a straw holding my nose with a pineapple lump afterwards to numb the taste! then it's ok!! good luck let me know how you get on :-) |
