I purchased from a chinese shop/clinic for eczema Xiasangju Chongji which is a form of tea which is supposed to cleanse the body, we were also given a cream that is called Qin Dai Gao, - Today we can see that some immediate results, its not gone completely but its much better - does anyone know anything about Chinese alternative medicine and where I might source it cheaper as its very expensive £2.00 per sachet I found a Chinese supermarket who had a very similar product just tasted a bit stronger and it cost £1.00 for 20 sachets!

I don't know that much about Chinese medicine. Like most mediciines, i know it works for some not for others. Where are you based ? If in London, then you could try any of the medicine stores in Chinatown (nearest tube Leicester Square). Otherwise you could try a centre called Medicentre (i think) who are based in Camden and very kosher in terms of Chinese medicine. My friend swears by Dr.Lily who cured her of a long going digestion problem that none of the Harley St doctors were able to diagnose her with, let alone cure her. Good luck.

you must be very careful with chinese remedies, some of them are naturally occurring very strong steroids. my UK-trained doc had a boy in with complete kidney failure following the use of an exczema remedy. i'm not against chinese meds, in fact i went to an excellent practitioner myself, but i researched his background thoroughly and only bought meds (at HUGE expense) from him.
