Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 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.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 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.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hi Luiz, Interesting approach. I wonder what your take is on the reason we call them " Chinese herbs " ?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 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.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 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.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 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 Bernall Chinese Medicine Sunday, November 30, 2003 4:48 PM Re: Herbs from around the world combined Thanks Luiz,I come from a long lineage of South American herbalists.
