Guest guest Posted February 25, 2001 Report Share Posted February 25, 2001 Cara, Sorry, for some reason, I read Yue Ji Hua as Ye Ju Hua (hence my comment on its similarity to Feverfew). As for the possibility of Yue ji hua moving liver Qi, this I'm willing to believe (though it's not in Bensky/Gamble) - since it moves blood and enters the liver. Also, Mei gui hua clearly moves liver Qi and the two herbs seem very similar. ============================== Peter L.

On the other hand- ye ju hua I think is very similar to feverfew. But is feverfew effective for carbuncles and expeling pus in the same way? and is it hypotensive like Ye ju hua is?
