My fight blog also looks into different things for health. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)  can be a complimentary means or an alternative approach to improving ones overall health. After an initial interview with a TCM health practitioner, a prescription is prepared. While some know that TCM can comes in the form of pills and other packaging, the original style is a prescription of an herbal mixture, with a large quantity of ingredients, with leaves, seeds, parts of plants, flowers, beans, and in my case, insect shells. The mixture is boiled twice and the water extract is then consumed. I am to prepare and drink this mixture for four days, then I go back and get something else.
