Beijing Tong Ren Tang_Christchurch Branch

I have had some herds medicine recently from Dr Shi. I feel it is quite effective. I believe that Dr Shi is quite professional in prescribing Chinese herd medicine. He is a experienced TCM prescriber. My problem can be treated here properly using TCM. Therefore I do not need to go back to China to seek for help. I feel lucky that I can find a true TCM doctor in Christchurch.

Recovering from a concussion and suffering chronic fatigue for over a year, my GP and ACC couldn't help much with my symptom. I nearly quit my job due to my fatigue. Finally, I tried the herb medicine Dr Shi prescribed for about three months. Herbal medicine helped me able to go through stressful working times. I kept my job, still working full-time!! Big thanks for Dr Shi.

I wouldn't recommend the TCM doctor here to be honest. My mum came with me for a diagnosis and prescription as my interpreter because he speaks Mandarin. I will say that his prescribed herb packets are effective, but are they efficiently effective? Absolutely not. My mum said that a good TCM doctor would prescribe as little herbs as possible to address whatever ailment the patient has. This man is in the business of selling Chinese herbs, not curing patients, which I find abhorrent because it is unethical and unsustainable in many ways - both for the patient and for the environment. The more herbs he prescribes, the more product he sells. My mum asked for 3 packets of herbs instead of 6 as he recommended, and he gave her the side eye and advised 6 packets would be more effective. You literally need a stockpot to simmer each packet because the quantity of herbs in each packet is so much. It cost me over $200 for 6 packets and I'm never returning and have warned everyone I know to not visit this doctor because I found his method of practice distasteful. A lot of labour goes into harvesting Chinese herbs, processing them for packing and shipment. Some of the plant species are becoming increasingly rare because of demand, it's totally disrespectful to the environment and to the people picking the herbs to be this wasteful by prescribing so many unnecessarily. My mum will be returning to her hometown to get more efficient and effective treatment from a more honest doctor.

(Translated by Google) For Beijing Tong Ren Tang chch, it happened on 4/2/22, although the medicinal materials are expensive, I dont mind, but the lady wearing a white robe is too poor, too poor, and has no love. She doesnt deserve to wear a white robe. There is an old lady who has bad eyesight The lady in a white robe helped to explain the use of the medicine. The lady put on a dirty face and said that she didnt want to explain. She also said that she had guests coming and couldnt explain. White robe clothes? No love at all. . If I were the boss, I would fire her and tell her to go home and eat herself (Original) Beijing Tong Ren Tang chch, 4/2/22
