Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thanks everyone, for the info on nardostachytis. I found it in the ingredient list of a formula for arthritis and rheumatism, Chui Feng Tou Gu Wan. Curious that this sort of pain relief doesn't seem to be one of its strongest actions. < wrote: Hi All, & Danny Danny wrote: > Heya Andrea, I believe it's the herb Gansong.
