I saw this acupuncturist once and found that for me she was a waste of money. She talked me into herbs I did not want and when I reacted to them and could not take them she was not friendly about the matter. I thought a refund of the money for the herbs would have been appropriate since I did not ask for herbs and had said I dont gain much benefit from herbs. Had she thought of me instead of making money she would have given me a small trial amount to see if I could tolerate the formula. As herbs come from China in many cases heaven knows what pollution could have been in them.
