They don't contain the herbs you've mentioned but was just wondering that if I take them, how do I know or realise symptoms so I can catch them early if anything happens? The pills are 6 flavour tonic & tian wang bu xin pill, they both contain a bunch of herbs..<br /><br />Hope you can reply soon as I wish to start taking them asap thank you!<br />Michael19https://www.blogger.com/profile/17465862508397047159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27166201.post-53417266188997126782017-05-05T20:51:55.254+08:002017-05-05T20:51:55.254+08:00Dear Kelly,

I have initially thought that honeysuckle is ok for g6pd deficient, it did not sound Chinese to me (I'm not Chinese so I can't recognize the names of herbs usually written in avoid list.) Now I am using a mouthwash with honeysuckle essence. I wonder if I should also avoid commercial products with honeysuckle essence.
