    O.K. Folks, thanks for all the great help on other issues.
    Now we are looking for a reputable seller/store of herbal natural medicines /supplements.
    A thousand eyes works much better than four.
    Have a fantastic day.

    Charlie, not sure what specifically you are looking for. I buy this Chinese medicine that you rub on sore parts of the body and it works great for sore muscles and joints, at Lee Plaza pharmacy downstairs. (Note: don't recommend you rub it on your package or your partner's sensitive areas because it burns like hell; sort of like what Broadside had to say about pepper spray). Given it is a Chinese store I'm sure they have other products.

    No Firefly, the one I used is called Snow King but all the writing is in Chinese. I used Tiger Balm when I lived in Hong Kong and for me Snow King seems to be better for my problems. Many guys who work out at gyms here use this product. It is not too expensive.

    I tried Tiger Balm on a sore thumb(always feels sprained) it burned and blistered the skin on area applied. Maybe try on small area at 1st.

    Hi Pat,
    This time we are specifically looking for Chasteberry ( capsules, tea, extract ) & wild yam cream or capsules.
    We haven't been to Super Lee yet, we'll give it a try. We did ask one Chinese doctor ??? which amazingly to me claimed to not have a clue where to purchase any herbal popducts . Give me a break, not a clue ? What's with that ? Doesn't want to help is what my brain thinks. But then agian we have been to almost every pharmacy in Dumaguete, one so called pharmacist is telling my asawa they don't have such a thing and never heard of it and meanwhile I picked up a box right in his store not 8 feet from where he is. Clueless, I don't get it. And these are so called college graduates dispensing medicines that could cure or KILL you ?
    What more can I say. Buyer be ware , not only here but most countries with todays dumbed down mentality.
    Have a fantastic Fathers Day to all.

    You might be allergic to Tiger balm and or similar products.
    One mans food can be another mans poison. My asawa used some Tiger Balm about 2 months ago. I started going into Anaphylaxic shock just from the fumes. She had to shower and air out the house for 2 hours before I could re-enter.
    "One never knows , do one ?"
    We all have something, it is just a matter of time, finding and identifying it , that is if it doesn't kill you first. Life's a B and then you die.( Or so we think). Very simple formula.
