Luiz and the group,

I am interested in different modalities of traditional herbal usage ,i would like some information on the utilisation of Brazilian herbs .Also do you combine the two different styles of herbs together (Brazilian herbs and also the Chinese herbs).

 

Also is there any practitioner in the group that is combining or using Chinese Herbs and Australian herbs( or any other regions herbs)and the results, which can be obtained..

Michael Tierra is well known for what he calls

planetary herbology. He uses TCM as his main

diagnostic bases and herb selection and then brings in

a few of the others from other traditions. Luckly my

wife has studied with him and I am able to learn from

her or by attending American Herbalist Guild

conferences on how to incorporate other herbs.

Currently I find that I can bring American, Euro,

African and south American herbs in safly and

effectively into my TCM formulas or at times in

isolation.

Also I find Peter Holmes 2 volume set on herbs very

useful at times. Although I feel he stretches the

herbs functions a bit, he does explain the functions

of many western herbs in tcm terms and functions. Very

helpful if a patient shows up with a bag of western

herbs or you want to check out some of the western

herbs to add extra punch.

Rodd and the group

 

Brazil is a rich country in medicinal herbs. I believe that most of

them still nor they were discovered or well you study

scientifically. The Amazonian forest is a lot of big.

 

But we have to our disposition many Brazilian herbs already known

and you study scientifically for almost all of the diseases and

unbalances.

 

I don't combine the two different styles of herbs together

(Brazilian herbs and also the Chinese herbs)

in a same one formulates. In a given formulation I just use herbs of

a same area.

 

Few times I prescribe two formulas - one with Brazilian and other

herbs with Chinese herbs.

 

Always I try to begin with local herbs (Brazilian), but if it goes

need I use herbs or Chinese formula.

 

Here it is not very easy to obtain the Chinese herbs to the natural,

and when that happens not always the price is good. It is much

easier to find them formulate Chinese ready. There are few

suppliers. And the price is very expensive. Not always the customers

can pay for a treatment.

 

The herbs and the formulas with Brazilian herbs are cheap and easier

to obtain.

 

Excuse my English

Hi Luiz,

 

Interesting approach. I wonder what your take is on the reason we

call them " Chinese herbs " ?

 

Thanks

Hi Fernando,

 

My personal approach to the issue is that the formulae set for

Brazilian pythoteraphy is not the same set of formulae for Chinese

Medicine. Usually the Chinese formulae can be procured on the market

already conconocted by foreign providers. What I call Brazilian

herbs are those grown in Brazilian soil, and what I call Chinese

herbs are those grown overseas in Asia, specifically in China.

Hence, a given herb may be native to Brazil, China and other parts

of the world, but it will be a " Brazilian herb " or a " Chinese herb "

depending on their region of origin.

It is very important to remember that it is very difficult in Brazil

to find foreign herbs on their natural form, at a reasonable price,

albeit it is easy finding the same component inserted on a premade

industrial elixir.

Thanks Luiz,

 

I come from a long lineage of South American herbalists. As a child I

spent time in Leticia, Colombia, which borders with Brazil and Peru

and witnessed plenty of curanderos, including my great-grandfather,

work their " magic " .

 

Good luck to you.

Fernando,

 

We share this lineage only off by half a hemisphere. My mother's grandmother was an oral tradition herbalist and had my mother pick the local herbs from the forests and meadows. When the French Algerians occupied her part of Bulgaria during WWI, she even treated them for their flus and colds. She took all comers. She was, of course, also a midwife.

 

In Friendship ... and Lineage,

Emmanuel Segmen

[Fernando: I come from a long lineage of South American herbalists. As a

child ... ]

[Emmanuel: We share this lineage ... My mother's grandmother was an oral

tradition ..]

 

Amongst us

There walk the Silent Ones

Who listen to the leaves.

 

They know the seed

And recognize the breed

Of shrub and tree.

 

When they take from the plant

And give to those in pain

Both, by their hand, gain

The flower and the flesh.

 

Such is the Lore, that these

Are not children of the Earth

But that Earth is their Child.
