My herbalist is Chinese and he barely spoke English. I think he understands better than he speaks. He is “old school”, and I don’t think he does teledoc visits. I went to visit him and he examined my pulse, my tongue in addition to hearing about my symptoms. He did not seem puzzled at all on my symptoms. I was encouraged there were many patients waiting for him when I got there.

If you can’t get a referral but you live in or near a major city, check out Chinatown or Asian commercial trade areas. They will likely have herbalists you can check out. Sorry I can’t be more helpful in your search. I ran out of options on finding pain relief and I’m glad I tried the herbs. I’m on gabapentin and cymbalta which still didn’t help me eliminate the burning pain. I am now starting to phase out the drugs gradually. I hope I continue to feel this way. I will report my progress.
