Re: Problems with flushing
You could try making your own tincture for Chinese bitters without alcohol. There is someone making them with water.
Here is her recipe:

"these are the main 3 ingredients used for the Gold Coin Grass and Chinese Bitters used at Sensible Health:
Jin Qian Cao - Gold Coin Grass (used in GCG formula at Sensible Health)
Long Dan Cao - Chinese Gentian (used in Chinese Bitters formula at Sensible Health)
Chai Hu - Bupleurum (used in both GCG and Chinese Bitters formula at Sensible Health)
According to these links below, these are the recommended dosages per day:
Jin Qian Cao (Gold Coin Grass) - 16g to 60g

Long Dan Cao (Chinese Gentian) - 03 to 3g

Chai Hu (Bupleurum) - 3g to 12g

I'm thinking of doing the maximum recommended dosage of Chinese Gentian and Bupleurum, but with only a 500g bag, using 60g of Gold Coin Grass a day would run out very quickly, so I'll probably go with 30g. And as the total recommended Bupleurum is 12g, I'm going to use 6g with the GCG tea and 6g with the Chinese Bitters tea."
