Very interesting post, Justin, if you are still around. I started taking Chinese herbs from Dragon Herbs. Apparently I have Kidney Yin deficiency and I have to say after a week I really find they are helping in every way, including raising blood pressure, instilling calm and energy, and helping sleep. These were the ones that were prescribed for me: Profound Essence, Codonopsis and Zyphius and Gemmostema. Will see how it continues to go, but I am quite impressed by how fast they started to work.
