Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Michael Tierra's book Planetary Herbology mixes Chinese, Ayurvedic and Western herbs. Also have a look at David Bruce Leonard's excellent site: http://www.medicineatyourfeet.com/plantindex.html No TCM but great info on Western herbalism, Michael Moore's incredible site http://www.swsbm.com/homepage/ Using Western herbs in a CM framework is still a very speculative undertaking, especially if we are talking about using Western herbs in combination with each other or with Chinese herbs. It is necessary work, especially if we lose access to Chinese herbs, but it will involve a lot of trial and error and close observation. rh Chinese Medicine , " hyldemoer " <hyldemoer> wrote: > > Aviv Li Stein <avivli> wrote: > > yes, try the book isbn 0-9740635-0-9 by John Chen > > it has both Western and Chinese aspects , > > Is Chen's book only on Chinese herbs? > > Peter Holmes has written a 2 volume " the Energetics of Western Herbs " > subtited " treatment strategies integrating Western and Oriental herbal > medicine " . > > Penel > > > > I am interested in finding a good book on Herbs from > > > both Eastern and Western herbalists.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Far and away the best text on this subject is Jeremy Ross' book, " Combining Western Herbs and " . It is based on solid information, not speculation, and I highly recommend it. Also, a surprising number of " Western herbs " are listed in the Zhong yao da ci dian/Great Dictionary of Chinese Medicinals (in Chinese), including surprises such as mullein and hypericum (St. Johnswort). Another reason to learn medical Chinese.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 No, this book is much better in terms of referencing. I also had issues with his points book as well.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Thanks for this reference. I have heard of John Chen and have been looking for his writings on interactions of pharmecetucals and herbs.

It depends on 1) whether they are recent imports 2) how important they are or 3) if they are medicinals with regional use. Gui jing tends to be a late addition with new medicinals in the ZYDCD. > > I've thought about picking up a copy for years but frankly i've got a > backlog of Japanese > stuff i haven't gotten to yet... maybe someday...
