I've heard of this type of alternative treatment, as well and it sounds interesting. Keep in mind that as with all treatments - traditional Western medicine or alternative treatments - it's a good idea to do a lot of research on the pros and cons of the treatment in order to make an informed choice about the validity of the claims made about the treatment, potential side effects and what is the right choice for you.

Equally, it's a good idea to keep in mind, that as with all treatments, INCLUDING pharmaceutical medicines, it's a good idea to do a ton of research on the pros and cons of treatment, such as SIDE EFFECTS in order to make an informed decision abut the validity of claims made about the treatment, and what is the RIGHT choice for you. I have known far too many who have switched cocktails and increased dosages and have not had significant results from traditional medicines while in a desperate search for relief! Try natural methods first!
