I love Century Chinese Drug Store. I do have Chinese blood running through my veins so I may be a tad biased but on a serious note, no, that's not it. I've just always been a firm believer in traditional Chinese medicine/alternative forms of medicine as I believe that the plants and trees we find all around us God put there specifically to nourish and benefit us (hello oxygen/clean air!).
Having said that, unless it's absolutely urgent or I can no longer function properly or get out of my bed, I try to keep my medications herbal. I run here whenever I find myself experiencing a bad cough as I find that Pei Pa Koa is tried and tested, guaranteed remedy for me. It's five minutes from my place so that's totally convenient. Century also sells Pei Pa Koa lozenges as well as other medicines/treatments for different types of ailments. I highly recommend you give it a try. read more
