Chinese Monograph on Hongjingtian - Rhodiola (Google translation)

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

For a (mediocre) Google translation of a detailed monograph on

Hongjingtian - Rhodiola, see: http://tinyurl.com/34z495

 

To fine-tune the translation, copy it into Wenlin software.

 

This (and several other Chinese pages) suggests that there are up to

100 Rhodiola spp. MANY of these are used medicinally.

[Guest guest]

Hi Phil,

 

Thank you for this. You make a good point with your presentation of the 100+

species of Hong Jing Tian. My president brought in R sachalinensis Kuye

Hongjingtian which is wildcrafted from mountaintops in Jilin Province. Some

people there intend the translation hong jin(g) tian to mean " red flower in the

sky " since it's at the mountaintops. My president's husband became interested

in this herb when a clinical TCM researcher friend of his published papers in

Beijing about it's use in formulas that normally call for bai ren shen. He

specifically used the Jilin R sachalinensis. This hong jing tian appeared to

be as effective as or more effective than the bai ren shen in the formulas but

with a more neutral or even very slightly cooling effect. This made the

formulas more useful for long term usage. In the early to mid-1990s, you

couldn't give away hong jing tian in America. No one was interested.

 

As I understand it, certain species names for the Latin binomial gained

marketing currency from Russian cultivation of the herb in Siberian soil and

then later presentation of research papers in the 1990s in Europe. I find the

stories circulating around this herb to be rather convoluted.

 

The wildcrafted Hong Jing Tian which fits the northern medicine of Jilin is a

beautiful thing, IMO.

 

Respectfully and gratefully,

 

Emmanuel Segmen
