calophyllu membranaceum or heng jing xi

[Guest guest]

Eric,

 

Thanks for your response. I appreciate it a great deal.

 

Actually it is pu3, made up of mu4 and bu3. Translates as " simple " but I don't

understand how that fits this phrase.

 

BTW: I saw after I posted that the correct Hawaiian name was listed in the

post. Not sure why the punnai name as listed. It caught my eye because it is

similar to a " word " (not a true Hawaiian word) used as a derogatory word for

vagina.

There is a phrase I was unable to translate, perhaps someone more

knowledgable than I could key in, the pin yin is: pu3 shen4 qiang2

yao1. Obviously it has something to due with the kidneys association

with the lumbus but I'm not sure what.

 

Assuming that the pu3 is supposed to be a bu3, the phrase probably

means " supplements the kidneys and strengthens the lumbus. "
