I'm sure your Chinese herbalist is a wonderful human being and has your best interests at heart - and that has medical value, too. But that doesn't mean the herbs are any good.

I trust the herbalist to choose good herbs. I do not depend upon the herbalist to have my best interest at heart any more than I do a drug company or a therapist. I believe herbs have been used to good effect for centuries.
