herbs

[Guest guest]

Howard,

 

These formula are not known to me, but I can tell you they have very

generic kinds of names that mean open blood and qi powder or shaolin

paste and things like that. There are probably many martial arts

formulae with similar names, so what you are using might be quite

different from something in a book with the same name. In any event, it

is not my area of expertise, however, blue poppy press has a book on

shaolin formulae for trauma that would probably serve most of your needs

and has recipes and dosages. See them at http://www.bluepoppy.com

Hi all!

Can anyone tell me anything about the following formulas:

 

Shao Lin Shuang Jin Xu Gu Dan

Lian Gong Chang Tong Qi Xue San

Shou Gong San

Yan Shou Jin

These are various formulas for martial artists and I would like to know what

the herbs are and their dosages.

 

Thanks

Barb,

 

I am not a pro as well but will try to clear up the issue. Correct me

if I am wrong.

 

Here we go:

 

1. dried dandelion can be prepared as infusion, which means basicaly

you have to steep it and prepare it like tea.

 

2. You can drop the dried herb into the cup and pour boiling water

over it. Cover teh cup. Wait about 5 to 10 minutes and then filter

the water (separate herb from infused water) and drink it as a tea.

 

3. You can use one of the infusers to prepare it. Just get some herb

into iunfuser (a ball with holes or something like that), close the

infuser and drop it the cup of boiled water. Cover, wait 5 to 10

minutes and then drink as a tea again. It's the same as in #2 above

but will be friendly in termf of filtering herb from the infusion.

 

4. You can add some other herbs to dried dandelion as needed and

prepare the tea again. You can use 50% of regular tea (or green tea)

and 50% of dried dandelion for example.

 

5. The amount of herb you will use to prepare tea is generaly 1

teaspoon of herb per 8 oz. cup of boiled water. That applies to dried

herbs that are regular grade.

 

6. You can also use dried dandelion as an encapsulated I assume. But

that I will leave to the pros. In this case, you would just grade the

herb to make sure it's like a powder and than encapsulate it into one

of those gelating capsules and just take it with water as a regular

pill. Again, I am not sure about that and let the pros reply to it

before doing anything like that.

 

You might wanna check out one interesting book about herbs as teas.

It's " 20,000 secrets of Tea " . It's very good book and it costs about

6 dollars. I have this book. However, this book talks about the

herbs/teas in terms of western system and Eastern/Chinese approach is

not really discussed there. Nevertheless, the book is very good and

will be usefull. There are very usefull crossreferences like

symptoms/herbs and about 100 herbs are described/discussed.

 

Thanks,

Max.

Great information Max! Thanks so much!

Thanks, Max, and for the book recommendation.

In addition to putting the powder into capsule, the powder of some herbs can

be put on the tongue and washed down. Sort of like people in the American

South putting BC or Goody or Stanback powders on the tongue and then washing

them down with water. Only in the case of TCM, the powdered herbs are

washed down with an herbal tea. (Some formulas are more effective this

way.) Or, the powdered herbs can be boiled for a few minutes in a small

amount of water. This is called a " draft " . This can come in very handy

when someone needs a tea because absorption tends to be more and quicker

with teas than with most other forms of administering herbs and you don't

want to have to cook the formula as long as some of them need to be cooked.

 

BTW, when looking at pinyin names of formulas, if it ends in Tang, this is a

tea (i.e., Gui Zhi Tang - Cinnamon Twig Decoction). If the pinyin formula

name ends with San, this is a powder. An example is Chuan Xiong Cha Tiao San

- Ligusticum Chuanxiong Powder to be Taken With Green Tea. Wan is a pill.

Like in Ye Hua Wan - Moonlight Pill (a formula that enriches Yin and

Moistens Dryness). There are advantages and disadvantages to each form of

herbal treatment. Some of the formulas can be administered as a tea or

powder or pill, but some formulas for some conditions are treated best with

one particular method.

 

There are other methods of administering herbs like soft extract, syrups

(used mostly for children), special pills, medicinal wines (not the same as

the use of tinctures in the West but similar), lozenges, tablets, granules,

and injections. The last - injections - is something that only an O.M.D.

can do, and they have to be very careful because the dosages are so much

smaller than herbs taken orally and a few herbs which are perfectly safe

when taken orally can be lethal when injected.

 

In addition, medicinal porridges sometimes are used. They're usually cooked

overnight in a crock pot and eaten for breakfast. Bob Flaws has a book The

Book of Jook: Chinese Medicinal Porridges, A Healthy Alternative to the

Western Breakfast. I've noticed that some herbs - like cayenne - are more

effective for me when they're cooked with food - like homemade chili. For

other people cayenne is more effective when taken in a capsule. BTW, the

Chinese consider diet the first line of defense in health matters.

 

Aromatherapy has been used in TCM, but today it's not used very often. In

addition, there is modern research into the burning of certain herbs - like

an incense in waiting rooms of hospitals and clinics - to reduce the spread

of certain contagious diseases.

Hi Barb,

 

It's definitely appropriate considering that the modern Chinese are learning

all they can about herbs and medical traditions from around the world and

incorporating what works into a TCM framework.

 

Since Max has answered your question about how to prepare dandelion herb

tea, I don't want to duplicate that. What I want to talk about are the

properties of dandelion from both a Western and a TCM approach. I also want

to talk about how TCM frequently will give new insights into Western

medicine and how Western medicine (including herbalism) frequently will give

new insights into TCM.

 

This post mostly will be about the Western uses of dandelion. But I do want

you to keep some TCM information in mind as you read about the Western uses

of dandelion. Herba Taraxaci Mongolici cum Radice (Pu Gong Ying - Chinese

dandelion) has a Cold thermal energy, it has a bitter and sweet taste, and

it specifically targets the Liver and Stoamch. It's primarily classified as

an herb that Clears Heat and Relieves Toxicity.It also promotes lactation

and resolves Dampness. It gets used for Damp-Heat jaundice and painful

urinary dysfunciton. It's used for any Heat disorder but espeically when the

Liver is Hot and there are " red, swollen, and painful eyes. " (The Liver

opens into the eyes.) It " reduces abscesses and dissipates nodules. " (Info

taken from Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, Revised Ed., compiled and

translated by Dan Bensky and Andrew Gamble, p. 89.)

 

Now let's look at dandelion from a Western herbalism standpoint. The

following info is taken from A Handbook of Native American Herbs by Alma R.

Hutchens, pp. 80-82. She lists the bodily influences as diuretic, tonic

(invigorating and strengthening - different definition from the TCM

definition of tonic), stomachic (strengthens the stomach and digestion),

aperient (a gentle laxative that doesn't purge), and deobstruent (removes

obstructions). Taking a diuretic is one way to get rid of Dampness.

Getting the bowels to move is one way to get rid of Heat in the Lungs and

Large Intestine though this isn't the only way dandelion removes Heat from

the body. Herbs that are deobstruent sometimes will help to get rid of some

nodules.

 

She goes on to say, " The root is a constituent of many prescriptions for

dropsical and urinary complaints and is indicated for impostumes and inward

ulcers in the urinary passage, atonic dyspepsia, and rheumatism. It is of

an opening and cleansing quality and therefore very effective for

obstructions of the liver, gallbladder, and spleen and the disease that are

from the biliary organs. " Anytime there is blockage, Heat can build up.

Note how Western herbalists zero in on the stomach stomachic) and liver uses

of this herb. TCM states that it specifically targets the Liver and

Stomach.

 

In addition Hutchens talks about the organic sodium salts in dandelion

purifies the blood " and destroys the acids therein. " From an alternative

Western standpoint, very often when a person is prone to infections -

especially something like recurring boils - there is a problem in the blood.

It needs purified. In the TCM Materia Medica, Bensky and Gamble elaborate

on pharmacological & clinical research. Chinese dandelion has in vitro

bactericidal action against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae,

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella spp., Neisseria meningitidis, and

Coryne-bacterium diphtheriae. It also has some in vitro inhibitory action

against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, ECHO virus, and Leptospira. (p. 90)

 

According to Hutchens, in Russia dandelion has been used for liver spots

(again the connection to the liver), " blood purifying, liver treatment,

juandice, gallbladder, skin conditions, digestive disturbance, and as an

expectorant and sedative. " From a TCM perspective, the sedative effects

probably are related to its cooling and other effects on the Liver. A " hot "

liver can mean a " hot " temper. Anger and frustration go hand-in-hand with

Liver imbalance.

 

The insight that Western herbalism can give to TCM regarding this herb is

the mention of its use in treating rheumatism in the West. In TCM,

arthritis and rheumatism are Painful Obstruction Syndrome. The primary

triggers are Wind, Cold, and/or Dampness but Heat also can develop in

regards to Painfult Obstrution Syndrome.

 

The insight that TCM can give to Western herbalism is the fact that the

thermal energy of this herb is Cold. Say for example that a person is having

digestive system problems, but the problem are coming from Cold instead of

Heat - like in the case of Cold in the Stomach. Because this herb has cold

energy, it adds Cold to Cold, and can make this condition worse. A similar

problem arises with the bulk laxative psyllium seed. The plantago or platain

herbs tend to have Cold energy. They can work real well on constipation

which is due to Heat. But they can be terrrible for people whose

" constipation " or colonic inertia is due to Cold. They add more Cold to an

already too Cold condition. The psyllium just sits there in the intestine,

adding to the person's problems instead of relieving them. Does this mean

that an herb with Cold energy can't be used by a person with a Cold

condition? No, but the herb will need to be combined with herbs with Hot or

Warm energy so the overall average if the formula is warm or at least

neutral. Like using ginger tea to wash down the psyllium instead of water.

 

Knowing the thermal energy of an herb allows herbalists to be able to

predict with greater certainty exactly who is going to benefit from a

particular herb by itself and when it's going to need to be mixed with other

herbs.

 

It's the mature dandelion plant that has the most medicinal properties.

Harvest when it has begun to flower. The immature plant is best for eating.

It's not as bitter as the mature plants. Dandelion greens are loaded

with vitamin A - 7,000 IU per ounce. Compare this with lettuce which has

1,200 per ounce and carrots which have 1,275 per ounce. (Hutchens, p.80.)

The fact it's loaded with A (as well as C and B and some minerals) may be a

factor in its antibacterial and Heat-clearing, Toxin-clearing properties. It

has the vitmins and many of the minerals that the immune system needs for

optimal functioning. But you probably will want to stir fry the dandelion

greens in butter or oil or at least steam them in order to decrease some of

the Cold thermal energy instead of eating them raw in a salad. (How a food

is prepared will impact on how Cold/Hot and how Yin/Yang it is. Raw foods

are more Cold and more Yin than cooked food. Frying foods makes them more

Warm and Yang than they otherwise would be if you steamed them.)

 

Even though the whole plant is taken, it's the root that primarily has the

mild laxative properties.

Habeneros are great... I think MUCH better than cayenne... hotter also. I use fresh for TT and yes I'lve frozen them whole and used later for TT. I've done both in tinctures..I like the dried better for tincturing.

I dried spinach and then powdered it...turned out great! I also dried wheat grass and powdered it as well. For my next batch I will be getting one of those barley grass and wheat grass kits and growing my own. This will definitely save on some of the expense of making the TN.

Will I need to grow Barley and Wheat grasses?

 

What about spinach leaves? Can I just dry some organic spinach?

Hi Everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone knows what a tincture measurement means when it

comes to herbs?

 

And, also, if anyone has any suggestions what herbs are best for breast

cancer. I have to go under the knife again ( 8th time) next week and I am

trying to do a good cleanse before I do so I heal quicker. I usually just do

a Macrobiotic fast but this time I am have ordered herbs from India to use

along with it.

 

 

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Thank you,

Hua Xia publishing has two volumes that are probably

the best available. They are co-edited by a native

English speaker, which means that most errors have

been edited out, and the English flows, not stilted,

as one often finds in Chinese translations.

 

The layout combines Chinese characters with English

text, unlike some books that have facing pages of

English and Chinese. This just makes the book more

readable.

 

I found a specific formula that I needed, which wasn't

available in other China-published books. There are a

number of these that are useful, but Hua Xia's are the

best.

 

One is more on patterns, the other on formulas. Let me

know if you need specific bibliographic info.

What all do you use the fresh rosemary for and how?

[Guest guest]

Baths, decorative wreaths, chopped in sausage, with veggies, in soups or

stews. When I am cooking, I go smell herbs until I decide what I want to go

into the creation of the day.

English Cottage Garden Herbs Herbs are a traditional part of any English garden, whether they were in the garden of a grand country estate or the small patch of the local villager. They have been used in cooking and as medicine for centuries. There are many famous historic houses in England that are known for their

delightful herb gardens -if you get the chance here are a few to visit. Sissinghurst Castle Gardens Acorn Bank Hardwick Hall The RHS Garden at Rosemoor Iden Croft Herbs Buckland Abbey Wisley Gardens What to growBorageWith blue flowers and hairy leaves Borage has been grown in English Gardens since the mid 1400s.It was thought to bring courage and today the flowers (hairy bits removed!) can be added to summer drinks like Pimms. It is a hardy annual with a great capacity to self sow so once you have it - it stays with you! CatmintAlso known as catnip, this herb is much loved by cats and also makes a great tea.It has lovely purple/blue flowers and can be clipped and used as path or border edging. ChamomileIt has white daisy like flowers and

soft feathery foliage with an delicious scent when trodden on. It has been used for centuries for tea and is again popular today. It flowers from summer to late autumn. DillIs a hardy annual and has been around since the days of the Greeks. It has been used to treat all digestive complaints, especially colic in babies and was thought to keep witches at bay. HyssopIt has blue or pink small flowers in the summer and is another herb which can be clipped and used as path edging. Lavender One of the most classic of herbs, kings and queens of England would have their clothing rinsed in lavender water.Good for hedging and comes in many shades of blue and purple as well as pinker and white shades. LovageIs a tall herb reaching 6foot or (3 metres) and has large

flower clusters of a greeny yellow and looks quite dramatic - try it at the back of borders. Lemon Balm A traditional old herb, it has a lovely lemony smell and should be grown beside your paths so you brush past it. RueWith grey blue leaves and greeny yellow flowers Rue is a small evergreen shrub known by Shakespeare. Touching the leaves can cause skin irritant so always handle with gloves on to be on the safe side. ThymeThere are many varieties of thyme - the most popular being lemon and common thyme. They have a strong scent and can be used edging or popping inbetween cracks in paving slabs or as delightful squares in a formal herb garden. Much used in cooking, it was used by the Elizabethans to carry in their posies to ward off evil smells and the plague. Remember that many herbs

will grow very well in pots as generally they like a dry sunny spot so if space is limited you can still grow some on your balcony or patio. From Monica, Thank you!

Does anyone know of a good book for herbs and mixing them without them

interacting and the ones you dont want to mix together in your system. Want to

try some others but not sure how they do with other herbs. Thanks for reading!

exactly the right Moon or so, for it still smells fresh

and looks purple. I'd better start using it. It is quite nice

added to Red Clover blossom with a bit of Peppermint and

Alfafa mixed in.

 

Thanks for the inspiration. I just love herbs, both the local

ones and the exotics.
