Maybe this formula is too warming for you, leading to heat in the liver or heart. Do you have a propesity towards heat? That would explain things. -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The metallic taste is still there as well. thanks > Howard I think it makes sense, effects from herbs can last for quite sometime, especially if pathological heat has been generated. Check for signs of yin damage, or liver heat etc, and then treat... Clear heat , regulate qi, nourish yin or whatever. -JAson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 " c.labrum " <c.labrum July 11, 2004 10:21:19 AM PDT < herb question Hello, I am a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbologist. I have a question about an herb I have listed in a jow formula. The herb's name is La Ji Cao and has been translated as 'garbage grass'. It's very aromatic and is used in many jow formulas. I can't find any information as far as channels and actions or scientific name. Hope you might be able to help me out. My clinic e-mail address is ancientwisdom. Thanks for your help.
