Morning greenslw it would be worth a try, see an chinese herbal medicine person who also does acupuncture to compliment the herbs rather than just an acupuncturist... That is if it wont be too much running around to see someone.... Although you haven't had much relief resting I'm sure your dr's orders are for the best and you should stay at home and put your feet up try not to stress yourself out, your buba will be here soon
