Apart from what kampo36 has written, Carctol is an Ayurvedic

(Indian) herbal formula for Cancer: http://tinyurl.com/6vepx

 

It is on the FDA UNAPPROVED List: Dr. Nandlan Tiwari

Pharmaceuticals Degana RJ, IN 341503; NOL-DO 112-1197075-

1/1/1 66VIE99 Carctol 21-APR-2004

Google has no Chinese names for Ammani Vesicatoria, Blepharis

Edulis or Hemidesmus lndicus

 

Piper Cubeba = Bichengqie [see: Sorting Piper names at:

http://tinyurl.com/7yvlg ]

 

Smilax China = Tufuling [Kampo: Dobukuryo]; Other Chinese

names are: Shanguilai, Tufu, Difuling, Shanyuliang, Lingfantuan,

Shandishu, Caiyuyuliang, Cizhu. For its Hb actions, see:

There are >70 Rheum spp, and great confusion and disagreement

in their common nemes and Chinese names. One site

http://tinyurl.com/3hvdc says: Rheum emodi = Indian Rhubarb; it is

NOT the same as Dahuang [Rheum palmatum; Turkish Rhubarb] or

Dazhang [Rheum officinale]. Others, however, use Dahuang for

several different spp. See: http://tinyurl.com/6jjjd
