My blog title may appear little misleading but is so titled beause it follows on from yesterday’s effort.

As you will no doubt recall I mentioned that I intended visiting my Chinese herbalist friend in Brisbane today and I did so this morning, coming away with 7 bags of 8 mixed herbs. The contents of each bag in turn to be placed in a large earthenware pot with six cups of water and boiled, then simmered and reduced down to two cups only. The two cups of this brew I am to drink whilst still warm.

The taste, as I have discovered is not dissimilar to a licorice drink, and almost black in colour. A little overpowering perhaps but not unpleasant. After 14 days I will return for another visit to my herbalist friend for a progress report. I was pleased to hear today that he was quietly confident about helping me resolve my kidney stone issue. I have heard from others who have been able to disgorge kidney stones quickly and painlessly using Chinese herbs. I’m betting

I also had a chat with him concerning a special Chinese herb I had read about on the internet, DAN SHEN (Salvia Miltiorrhiza) having a brilliant history for dealing with heart problems, such as Angina, Arrhythmia and Atrial Fibrillation. I had read that medical doctors in the USA were prescribing it in increasing numbers based on some solid findings of its efficacy. My friend confirmed its benefits and I came away with half a kilo, which I am now taking in the form of a tea. It is very pleasant tasting and if it does all that I have read about it any doubts remaining following my experiences with all three listed conditions, will be put to bed without recourse to further tests or treatment.
