Hi Raj:- Sorry I don't know where you can get the Chinese herbs/or see a herbalist in North America. Besides, we seldom take one kind of herbs alone. We normally take a combination of 10 to 20 kinds of herbs which is prescribed by a qualified herbalist after seeing the patient. Taking herbs without advice of a herbalist is not recommended.
