Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 I'm afraid this isn't specific enough to narrow down a single pinyin translation. We can get close to some families of which there are several " herbs " . For example, as you have probably found, there are multiple possibilities: Ban Lan Gen (Isatis indigotica root) and Da Qing Ye (Isatis indigotica leaf). But chances are you are looking for the formula that is being tested/used for H1N1. That is most likely to be Lonicera Japonica Thund - Jin yin hua Isatis Indigodica- ban lan gen Mentha Haplocalyx Brip.- Bo he Glycyrrhiza Glabra- Gan cao Perhaps someone with better Chinese skills could find a better listing of the actual herbs. This is a problem we have with translation and consumer level news reports as well as too many ambiguities within our tradition. http://www.examiner.com/x-9303-Miami-Health-Care-Examiner~y2009m7d30-Can-Chinese\ -herbs-treat-swine-flu Doug , The Traveler <dumai20baihui wrote: > > Hi all, > > What are the Pinyin for the following herbs? > > Lonicera Japonica Thund - > Isatis Indigodica- > Mentha Haplocalyx Brip.- > Glycyrrhiza Glabra- > > Thanks, > Glow > Quote

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 Actually it is da qing ye. It was sent home with all the school children (in Beijing at least). Three bags consisting of about 3 grams each, each bag to be taken over two days. No kidding! The others are correct as best I know. The gan cao is sheng gan cao, not zhi gan cao. Curious what folks on the list think of this type of mass low dose " experiment " with school children. Looking forward to hearing your responses.
