Chinese Herbal Medicine (Gui Pi Wan) for OCD

Dear Matthew:
I'm using gui pi wan for ocd. I feel ok thank you. It has helped but I still feel anxious. I have had depression for 40 years. I have diabetes, I don't use insulin. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and pain in my knees and fingers. I also have acid reflux.

Thank you for your help.

Matthew's reply: Hi Ligia, good to hear that Gui Pi Wan (Chinese herbal formula) is helping you. You have multiple health problems though and this means that one herbal formula is not enough.

It is difficult for me to provide specific suggestions via the Internet. You need to see a Chinese medicine doctor face to face so that he/she can properly prescribe Chinese medicine, as well as dietary and lifestyle changes.

Are there Chinese medicine doctors where you live? If not let me know as I might be able to help you find one.

Also let me know if you have general questions about taking Chinese herbal medicine for OCD, diabetes, arthritis, acid reflux or other problems. Chinese medicine WILL help you but, as mentioned, it is necessary to see a herbalist face to face.

Regards,

Matthew
