I tried acupuncture for the first time last week. In California did I get scammed?

I was on the boardwalk in Venice California, and went to this place to get a massage. I also saw they did accupuncture and I always wanted to try so I did. Probably not to wise going to a random place. He looked at my tounge and said I was wet or something and my eyes too. DId acupuncutre said my kidneys were weak etc. Tried to sell me these chinese herbs which I bought reluctantly one im supposed to take 24 pills a day its called rehmanni has anyone ever heard of that and some other stuff called feng shi xio tang wan/

I do think that you were scammed. You did not go to someone that was licensed nor had any professional knowledge about the topic- as you describe this person. Also, I wouldn't be taking ANY pills some stranger on a beach gives me. Why would you trust that person? Go to your doctor or pharmacist if you need medicine. Please don't take medicine from strangers.
