Some herbal formulas may not be appropriate to take if you are catching a cold
If you feel you are catching a cold, call your acupuncturist to discuss your symptoms and find out if it is appropriate to continue taking your current formula.

If you have difficulty adjusting to the taste of your herbs
Try swallowing them while holding your breath. It is also acceptable to clear the palette with a few raisins after drinking your herbs. Please do not mix the herbs with juice, honey, or any other sweetener, as this can compromise their efficacy.

If you experience gastrointestinal upset or new symptoms while taking herbs
Notify your acupuncturist. A little queasiness is not unusual when first getting used to the taste of herbs, but new symptoms may require modification of your formula
