Another idea would be using a combination of different herbs that might create a similar effect. As Stephen pointed out also Cordyceps sinensis - Dongchongxiacao would have a similar effect. This substance is available in german pharmacies in a very good qualitiy but its extremely expensive (more than 1000 US$ per kg). As to Placenta hominis - Ziheche I shortly talked to the import at Hamburg and they are planning to get it in a powdered form within the next couple of months. In China it is even used as food - maybe you remember the evening at JinYing Restaurant in Hangzhou - (I had a dish called chicken empress - more or less raw chicken that looked like a truck had driven over it... it gave me a salmonellosis which forced me to use public toilets quite frequently in the following days - an everlasting experience...) - but anyway they had a chapter on their menu called "medical dishes" which included Ziheche. I asked one of the managers if this was, what I was afraid that it could be and he answered something like: "Yes... must be very fresh... very hard to get nowadays... we put it into ricewine with a secret mixture of herbs for three days... then it is cut into little pieces, fried and served with onions..." Maybe you try it next time - I´ll get you the coupons for the toilet. Best wishes Peter Hello all , I am wondering which herbs can be used instead of Ge Jie / Gecko for the use in Asthma or other respiratory problems. This double function of tonifying Kidney- and Lung-Yang seems to be something only animals have. The only exception I see is Hu Tao Ren / S. Juglandis. Similar problem with Zi He Che / Placenta hominis.any ideas?sincerely,PatrickChinese Herbal Medicine, a voluntary organization of licensed healthcare practitioners, matriculated students and postgraduate academics specializing in Chinese Herbal Medicine, provides a variety of professional services, including board approved online continuing education.
