She asked whether she should continue taking the remaining two bags. Dr. Liang explained: " You feel much better after taking the first bag of herbal tea because that your body absorbs the tea very well and that the prescription of the tea is just right for you. In your case, one bag of herbal tea supports the healthy energy and eliminates the unhealthy energy in your body. It seems like the yin and yang (opposing forces) are balanced and your illness is cured. In fact, the healthy energy, however, is not strong enough and the unhealthy energy might come back again.
