Someone called the other day to ask if I had specifically treated Graves disease (I had not). I explained to her that we treat patterns, and it is quite likely I had treated a pattern similar to what she would exhibit. But no go, she didn't call back. Secondly, can anyone shed light on borneol (bing pian) for me? The Colored Atlas of Chinese Materia Medica calls it " Borneolum Syntheticum " and gives its chemical make up, while Bensky calls it " Dryobalanaps aromatica " and shows a picture of a plant with flowers. How does something from the plant become a powdered white substance? Is it like a resin which crystallizes, kind of like Aloe or Mu Xiang or Mo Yao? Is what we get likely to be from a plant, or synthetic? Thank you. Julie Chambers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Dear Heiko, Mu xiang and is from the trees's body of the mu xiang tree, and mo yao also come from the moyao trees, they are like some kind of the tree's liquid come from the tree when you cut the trees's body or they woun it themself then they just come out, people take that kind of that liquit ( usually they dried up before people pick them to use), they come from the pine family,. The " bing pian " come from the plant's leave, people take the leaves cook them and take the steam, after that they make them in to the cristallizes, they are not synthetic. They usually use for cold, fever, stomach ach, Asian people use to steam their body to reduce the cold.
