Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Zhi shi is good for liver, bad for diarrhea, acept for diarrea it doesn't make any harmfull. It also does not make any weight lost, it's calm mind. yin property Nhung Ta wrote: > > On Monday, July 22, 2002, at 06:40 AM, William Egloff wrote: > > Dear > Have you come across this use of Zhi Shi? > > Yes, synephrine, the active component of zhi shi is similar in structure to pseudoephedrine in ma haung.
