Western Herbs

[Guest guest]

To All:

 

I am surprised. Certainly sharing information and experience does not nullify

several thousand years of empirical research. It adds to it.Save infallability

for the Yellow Emperor! I would also like to point out that the history of

Western Herbs

is quite rich and also several thousand years old-albeit with some drastic

interuptions

in transmission. There is much written(empirical) info from the western

classical age about the

western pharmacy-it needs to be reinterpreted from the standpoint of TCM.Lastly,

there are many " primitive " people around the planet who heal themselves ENTIRELY

by the use of local herbs...I do not advocate an ideologocal position on this-

just a thought that there is a pharmacy growing all around us that is

particularly suited to our microenvironment and illnesses.I am encouraged and

grateful for those TCM practitioners who are making a start at this important

work.

I don't expect them to COMPETE with thousands of years of chinese herbal

history-

I expect they will ADD to it!!!
