Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Hello herbalists, My name is Wendy Stein and I have been a shy voyeur on this list for a few weeks. I am in my third year at ACTCM ( hello Sean D. ) and have just begun my internship at the school, which is great. As far as herbs go, I'm interested in many perspectives, yet especially: understanding how to best write herbal formulas, growing herbs, herb shamanism, and a long term goal includes exploring western herbs from the Chinese perspective. I'm especially fond of Mushrooms and recently attended the Fungus Fair in San Francisco. I've also been exploring grinding herbs into honey pills. As a student, I'm basically a sponge for new herb knowledge. An exciting herb experience I'd like to share was in learning how to use Deng xin Cao as moxa for children's problems such as acute diarrhea with vomit ( ren12, st25, st36), infantile spasms, upstaring eyes, spasms of the extremities,(li4) and mumps (sj17, gb8). You unwind the pith and soak it in oil such as sesamee, peanut, or olive for one minute. Wipe off the excess oil onto a towel, as too much will cause unnecessary burning (as I know from personal exerience ). Light the end with a match and quickly touch it to the skin at an appropriate point and you will hear a pop sound and the spot will turn red with a possible blister. Fun. Please be careful. I've been seeking an internet community of practitioners for a while and am very happy to have found one. I hope to be able to contribute, as well as to read others' postings. wen-D ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 You have already contributed, with that nice piece on deng xin cao. What do you mean by " unwind the pitch?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2000 Report Share Posted January 22, 2000 Jeffery, She means pith not pitch. That is the part of the herb that is used. It is actually the inner part of the plant. Welcome aboard Wendy, I hope you enjoy the conversation and I look forward to your fresh insights. I'll try to fill in any Western herbs stuff when appropriate. Chinese Herbology and Acupuncture " Serve others and cultivate yourself simultaneously " Lao Tzu > Jeffrey Weih <jweih > > You have already contributed, with that nice piece on > deng xin cao.
