as for which herbal medicine to use, i think green tea helps alot in that, but you can refer to this as well to find out exactly what to use:
Ayurveda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditional Chinese medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acupuncture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

thanks.
I have been drinking green tea once daily. As a result, I have noticed an improvement in metabolism and reduction of fat. I guess I should go to my local indian store and see what they offer. Living in Austin, there's not much of a variety at our desi stores compared to the ones in Houston. Acupuncture is also something I am considering - it should help me with my back pain as well. Speaking of which, I recall you mentioned an Ayurvedic cream for back pain in another thread. I would appreciate if you can tell me the name of the company and/ what the cover looks like? thanks again.
