just been to a chinese herblist - Springvale rd, Nunawading. I liked her straight away - she was friendly, knowledgable about many aspects of my blood work (I brought my results in) and she was kind to my 4 year old who sat calmly through it all for 1 hour.

As an athlete, I have always had low iron, i am not anaemic or even close to it, however I know I use HUGE amounts of energy and also have many clots in my period, so she believes that I may not be retaining iron, even though I take supplements and eat a very good iron rich diet.
she has given me herbs in pill form for digestion/liver function and for stress. Also, interesting, she said NO pineapple, lemon as these are cleansing foods - and I want to retain nutrients, NOT cleanse !!

If anything, I may end up with more energy and perform better ! At best, I could get pregnant again !! I am also having my first accupucture this saturday....what is it like ???
