In reply to Paris B. I suspect it is the 'heat' too, coz i experienced the same with bak foong pills, and somehow with evening primose oil too. guess i will finish up the box since $ has been spent!

I agree with PB on the “heaty” part, there are some supplements that makes your body “warm” (don’t know how to explain it but I’m sure you understand this) 🙂 I’d say as long as you don’t experience other factors like dizziness or sleepy in the middle of the day, you can go ahead with this and drink LOADS of fluid to wash off toxins!

I’ll definitely stop cosuming the product if i were you.
i had a horrible experience with eating eu yan sang’s bak foong pills. it gave me the similar break out.
once i stopped taking it, my facial condition went back to normal..
so stop taking it!!! 😛

For a supplement its a bit harder – it could be a reaction or it could be cleansing from the inside. If its was topical I’d say stop it. But because its a supplement, I’d say finish the box and then see what happens. It could be that its too “heaty” too?
