Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Dear Group: Is " mutual counteraction " of herbs (xiang wei) really a matter of one substance being able to reduce the toxic effect of another? If so, I am confused over numerous references in Bensky; for example, Mai Men Dong is said (according to some traditional sources) to counteract Bai Mu Er. But what possible side effect/toxic effect could Mai Men Dong OR Bai Mu Er have that would be counteracted? Or would need to be counteracted? Secondly, if a person consumed a rice cake before noticing that the other rice cakes in the package were teeming with little white worms, what should that person do? Do the digestive juices make short work of little white worms (versus contracting parasites via eggs)? Should the person drink an anti-parasitic formula just in case? (It wasn't I who consumed the pesky things.) Thank you.
