herbal medicines

Well I think it all depends on the aroma of the herbal med. if it smells bad it will also taste bad. i know a practical way to counter the bad taste though. while drinking the herbal med try holding your breath and finish it up quickly so you don't taste it. i do that all the time. i helps.

hi,Actually in olden days people used to use as raw as it is or juice of leaves/roots/stem.....but later on some sophisticated methods starts involving as per the people convenient/taste/adaptability.. But using them as prescribed by elders is better than changing them into our taste is some what reducing that medicine's power... All the best and have a nice time.

I read in a book the other day in a library about herbal medicine in China and it was really fascinating to know many medicines they have invented and which have also been useful to many people in the past, I think as from now I will go for the herbal medicines only, I also noticed that for diarrhea they said to smoke opium is the best.

Hello Yes, many of the herbal medicines are very useful and give good results if properly taken with care but as you said they are not tasty ( rather bitter, ) so, what I know that you may add some pure honey ( if you are not diabetic ) to add some taste, BUT, please cnsult your doctor before doing so, Good Luck

My mom knows a lot about herbal medicines. And they work very well and they are very tasty. I remembered one time I had a fever and I took a lot of injections, but they did not help to get rid of my fever. My mom happened to learned a secret prescription, so she cooked a special herbal medicine with chicken. After I drank it twice, my fever went down immediately. I did not know how the herbal medicine worked in my body. But it was really effective. And it was very tasty too. How amazing the things in this world could be.
