Dear Dr. Ming,

 I was just going to write you a letter to tell you that I'm astonished at the change in my health condition! My speech problem, stuttering,
 which was making me verry unhappy because I couldn't speak fluently, has been greatly reduced! I noticed that I could communicate more
 easily and that made me very happy!
 
 I also noticed that I have more energy to do things. Before taking the tea, I often felt very weak, I didn't have the will necessary to do
 something. Now I feel more lively and vigorous when working during the day. However, when the weather is bad, I still sometimes fell quite
 weak. But nevertheless, my general condition, in that respect, is much better than before.
 
 I'm very grateful for your teas and for your help!
 
 My only problem that didn't diminish is a feeling of light pressure in my forehead, in one same place, which is one inch above my right
 eyebrow (above my right eye). I feel that pressure, in that same place, all day long, from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep. It
 never stops!
 When I went to hospital to check it, they (in the hospital) said that I was perfectly healthy and that there was nothing wrong with me. But
 nevertheless I still feel that pressure, in that same place, all day, and now it's been going on for almost two years.
 
 Perhaps it's something on a psychic, or nervous basis? I used to be under stress a lot, maybe I feel this pressure because of a long-term
 exposure to stressful situations, where I worried a lot, slept badly and was often very nervous. Maybe this pressure is an energetic
 consequence of that? Do you think such conditions can be cured with the Chinese medicine?
 
Now I have a much more relaxed life, I'm no more under so much stress, but before I started drinking the herbal teas, I felt quite weak. Now
 I fell much stronger, much better, but still feel that pressure in the forehead above my right eyebrow.
 
 At the moment, I have only two more tea-bags left (because I prepare the tea every day). Would you recommend that I order another pack of teas?

Major Complaint:
My biggest problem at the moment is having a constant feeling of pressure in the forehead. I feel it from the moment I wake up in the morning until I go to sleep. That pressure is always in the same place (localised, like a point), about one inch (2.5 cm) above my right eyebrow (above my right eye). I have been to hospital, took CT scans, gave blood samples, but it appeared that, according to the Western medicine, I am completely healthy, although I don't feel well. All day long, from morning till night, I feel that pressure on that same spot. This feeling of pressure is accompanied by frequent spells of dizziness and feeling of drowsinnes and sleepiness (although I sleep quite a lot), and in those periods it is very hard to concentrate on anything, for example on reading or learning, which is a great problem to me, as I am a student. I also have a problem with speech - stuttering. It makes me very unhappy because I can't say and pronounce what I want to say. When I begin to talk, as if something is blocking the words from coming out and I can't pronounce them. The feeling is like having a cramp in my throat. Also I hope, if I could be able to concentrate more, I could pronounce sentences more fluently. Also, very often I feel I don't have energy and will to do things, like writing or doing something. Not very often, just sometimes, I feel my heart beating very hard in my chest, for a period of a few seconds.

Favorites:
I usually eat soup with vegetables and doufu, sometimes with fish as well, cooked brown rice, and also fried fish or vegetables. I like to drink green tea. I don't smoke. For hobby, I play the piano and read. I'm not sure that any of my family members have similar problems.
Laboratory Check:
I went to the hospital because of the feeling of constant pressure above my right eye, but all the examinations (blood, urine, etc) showed that everything is all right and in order.
Other Diseases:
About six years ago, I was badly hurt in a car accident. My vertebrae (6. and 7. cervical and 2. and 3. thoracic) were compressed and I had to wear plaster cast for about six months. But I have recovered from that.
Treatment:
I suppose that the second choice, ie the herbal tea would be the most appropriate choice for me. But if you think that some other choice would be better or more effective please let me know.
