Also see Jake Fratkin's

recent edition of Chinese Herbal Patent Medicines. Qi Ye Lian is

available in Plum Flower pills (Mayway), 2-3 tablets, 3 times a day as

needed. In one of Jake's lectures, he said that Schefflera was used

to relieve pain on the battlefields and is 'now generating clinical interest,

investigation and use.' It is an effective and safe analgesic that

I give to patients who need something with less side effects than

from ibuprofen and other antiinflammatory meds. No contraindications except

for the usual ones for blood movers.

qi ye lian

I am looking for accurate information on Qi Ye Lian, Herba

Schefflerae Arboricolae. Neither Bensky nor my other herbal texts

have this listed. I would like actions, indications, dosages and

contraindications if you have them.

Thanks,

Scott Blunk, LAc.

Glad you were pleased, darlin'

 

the pipettes were a thank you for answering the market research ?... the

samples go with every order...(not always rose, of course!!!)...we just

thought it was time to let folks experience the different ones and decide

which they prefer for themselves.
