Thank you, Melly, for your helpful tips in controlling shingles. However, I'm so sorry for your suffering and anyone else's. Your description made it a lot more understandable of how painful it is and I've met quite a few others who have had it but they didn't describe it as well as you did. *wince!* Is the Chinese Anise tincture organic and non-GMO and can I buy it from a local health food store? Wondered...
