I am reluctant to tell my doctor that I am taking herbal remedies. What should I do?

Surveys have found that one of three Americans uses some form of alternative therapy. It is important for you to explain to your doctor that herbal therapies are meant to be used along with conventional modalities, and that you hope he/she will support you. If not, then you might consider going to a different doctor. (For a list of health professionals in your area that are familiar with Chinese herbs, view our guide.)
