Are these herbs SAFE? I'm worried....

Ren i cant help you insofar as having ever taken chinese herbs for conception, however what i would suggest is get the chinese names for the herbs you are taking and give them to someone who can translate and explain what they are for if you are worried.
From my experience with chinese herbalists in general they seen to know what they are doing, and if hes reputable (not selling herbs out the back of a soup shop or anything lol) then you should be all right....but get the names and even try to google them or sonething?

Good luck with it anyway!

Thanks Limeslice... i just can't wait to finish these herbs and start to see this lady i'm going to see... she helps women to conceive and i think she'll be able to tell me what i'm actually ingesting!!

Can you not ring her and see if she can tell you over the phone? I would honestly not take something that i didn't know what it is. Could you look up the name on google?

The chinese man that gave me the herbs (who i was seeing) gave me a 4 week supply and when i asked him what they were he said 'i only know chinese name' hence he couldn't tell me....

They're just herbs I doubt they'll seriously hurt me in anyway but i was just concerned about taking different herbs at different times of the cycle; he has given me NO info whatsoever....

Anyway this lady i am seeing next week (can't wait) will be much more thorough and help me out and she's Australian so i'll be able to understand her much better & she will do my acupuncture aswell.

Off topic but did you get my email?

Glad you are seeing another acupuncturist.
