Guest guest Posted October 20, 2000 Report Share Posted October 20, 2000 I posted this message a week or so ago under a misleading heading and only got one reply. So I am sending it again hoping for more! If I have little response I will know it has little relevance or interest to others! re Cultivation of Chinese herbs in Australia I am currently undertaking a feasibility study into growing Chinese herbs in Australia and would like some help with information: 1. Are any Chinese herbs grown outside Asia ie. Europe or America? If so with what success? 2. Are any Chinese herbs patents or other herb processing undertaken outside China/Asia? 3. Are all you Chinese herbalists suspicious of non-Chinese grown Chinese herbs? 4. What reassurance would you need to use herbs grown outside Asia? eg. the results of clinical trials or bio-chemical assays, or just someone you trust telling you they are OK to use. 5. Are you aware of any books/journals giving detailed horticultural and processing guidelines for Chinese herbs in English or Chinese? 6. What evidence is there of increasing contamination of Chinese grown herbal products similar to the fungicide on ginseng mentioned recently? Any information or advice would be very welcome. Also thanks to everyone for the ongoing interesting discussions about everything! Sue Cochrane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
