'wasted you have money your'.
I am afraid this recent cottage industry that has resulted in a shop in most shopping centres, not so much money for old rope, but money for old weeds.
Well, no matter what type of Chinese medicine it was, that can possibly happen with any natural supplement, drug, or anything else that you take.
Typically, the Chinese use supplements and natural herbs for healing, and most herbs do take a few days to get into your system enough to feel the results (aside from laxatives and such... you'll feel those within several hours). I'm willing to bet that if you felt better for the first two days, it was likely just mental suggestion... then after that went out, the herbs weren't built up in your system enough to feel the effects, so it felt like it was getting worse.
What I can offer is that if you E-mail me the list of ingredients, I might be able to find something comparable that would be quite a bit cheaper. Let me know.
I had Chinese herbal medicine, prescribed by my Acupuncturist who is also fully trained in Chinese herbs. They were for digestive problems. We tried 3 different prescriptions with no noticeable improvement. I had faith in the practitioner and was disappointed when it didn't work. By the way, I cannot remember exactly how long I took them but it was over several weeks each time in order to give them time to work. In the end I started eating All Bran and my symptoms improved!
That's probably not good, as far as the money goes. There are definitely cost effective ways to use supplements, but you'll probably be best off talking to a pharmacist or a professional who is willing to advise you, rather than sell to you. That way you can use products geared toward your actual symptoms in a well-informed fashion. These medicines really can work for you though. Most mainstream drugs are derived from plants, or modified version of compounds taken from plants, so there is some merit in using them.
First of all you should not pay more than $30-$40 per bottle, or package (max)which is good for 10 days. Second it takes a while for your body to respond to the treatment, and once you start you can continue the herbal supplement for a good six months.The whole point is balancing your system which is a process. Good luck!
7 days is not enough time to treat menopause related symptoms. You need to be on these herbs for quite a bit longer.
The price should not be so high. You can compare with other places such as http://www.holisticchineseherbs.com/meno...
You can always look for a different practitioner if you are not comfortable with this one http://www.tcmdirectory.com
