Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hi Thomas and Anita, Thanks for the great ideas---I will definitely use both of your ideas. Regarding the Dang Gui and black chicken: is that a formula? Of course, I know about Dang Gui, but I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say " black chicken " ? Thanks!

Laura Some Chinese formulas have Wuji (Black Chicken/Hen; Wu=black; Ji=fowl, as in Jineijin-Chicken Gizzard Lining). Also, home-made soup with Wuji and Danggui is a DIY tonic.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Phil: In Guangzhou markets, one has a choice between purchasing a regular chicken (often live, kept in cages in the market). Or one may choose a black chicken. I don't know whether this is a natural skin color, or a technique devised to change the skin, but the skin of these chickens is black. Perhaps this is what is meant by " black chicken? " Jack --- < wrote: > Hi Laura, > > > Regarding the Dang Gui and black chicken: is that > a formula?

Of >course, I know about Dang Gui, but I'm not sure what you are referring >to when you say " black chicken " ? > I was referring to the product called Essence of Chicken with Tangkwei (Dang Gui) which is a famous formula for the treatment of postpartum blood deficiency and qi weakness, also supposed to tone the uterus and muscles and promote transformation of blood into mothers milk. It has Dang Gui, Dang Shen, Chuan Xiong, Bai Shao, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, Shu Di, Gan Cao plus black boned chicken, which is especially bred for its ability to treat blood deficiency and kidney xu. This formula is also excellent for those who need significant convalescent support ie cancer or other severe illness. The main problem with it though, is most people in a debilitated state have a good deal of digestive weakness and as the formula is very rich (It comes as a liquid in jars) tend to not tolerate it straight, This can be alleviated through diluting it with warm water and sipping it like a broth, or strong ginger tea being added or taken after eating.
