Most Chinese medicine r vile from experience, was always force to drink it wen i was little!! i dont think there r anyway of making it taste better, we were always been told to, take a deep breath dont think about it, n drink as fast as u can then once u finished put a sweet or some sour stuff in your mouth and suck. and it should get rid of the taste. if u just sipping it everytime, n makin that funny look then it will taste 100 times worse, soo nx time ... wait until the temp is right, take a deep breath squeese ya nose n drink real fast :) enjoy drinking, but becareful where u buy the medicine from,
there are loads of fake ones esp. from China, i dont know if they do any harm to your body but just might not wrk.

thanks for the reply cuddleme. i am taking part in a trial at a clinic in hove but it is being run at a london nhs hospital and my liver and kidney function is going to be monitored so i think i am safe in that respect.
i've got to have another one in a minute so i will try that technique. when you say about temp do you mean warm them or cool them?
thanks again.

hi 08sp, as cuddle said, no way to make them taste better.just make sure you got some nice sweets in hand and can put in ur mouth straight after it.
do you have your medicine made already? if so u may wanna warm up them a bit, neither cold or hot. if they are in plastic bag, i usuall;y put the whole bag in hot water and drink it after 5 mins. HTH.

My wife takes CM - she has packets of the ingredients made up, which I soak for an hour, and simmer for half an hour, and then strain the liquid, and portion it out twice a day.
It does smell and taste vile, but warm it in the micro. for a minute to avoid drinking it cold.
The general perception is that you simply have to bite the proverbail bullet and get it down, and think about the benefits.
A nice piece of choclolate at the end works wonders!
