the best medicine in the whole world are the womens

I can't tell you anything about acupuncture thats for sure...

But I can tell you experiences on many types of traditional chinese medicines...

When I don't feel well, what I normally would do is just stay at home, but if the condition gets worse, maybe some panadol to help ease whatever is making me sick. But if that fails, I go to the cupboard and in the back of it, some traditional Chinese herbs that my parents' brought back from their trips to China..

Anyways, there are mainly three types of medicine. One is where you mix with boiling water and slowly drink down (extremely bitter! which is why you have to drink it with very hot water to numb the effects of the bitterness), the next is where you break open the seal (usually wax covering a plastic seal) and inside a small ball of ground up herbs and stuff... which you can either eat it whole or make it into smaller fragments and eat them with hot water... And the third is where you use it as a spice almost, rare because not as fast-working as the other two, when you cook food, you just put a bit of the medicine into the food, and eat it...

I have tried all of them, although very bitter, works very fast and works very well...

Chinese medicine generally tastes horrible because they don't add sugar and chemicals into the medicine to make it taste better. However, it works well and does not have side effects because it's all natural herbs. I usually take Chinese medicine for sore throat, colds, coughs, diarrhea and other sicknesses that are not too serious. However, if I have infections, I'll go to the western doctor for antibiotics, because from my experience with Chinese medicine, it can work pretty slowly.
