Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 There is no use of echinacea in China. It doesn't grow there, and is not listed in the zhong yao da ci dian.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Z'ev, Are you sure about that? Since there's no english index in the Zhong Yao Da Ci Dian how can you be sure unless you've gone over every herb in the entire book? Not that I don't believe you, but just wondering how you can be so sure. Thanks! Wang Huiyu , " " <zrosenbe@s...> wrote: > There is no use of echinacea in China.

I have a chinese supplier of high concentration extracts that also extracts a variety of western herbs, including echinacea. they list the pinyin as zi zhui hua, which I suspect is the chinese for purple coneflower, the common name for echinacea in some parts of the US. Whether this is standard rendering is unclear. However, since chinese names are the equivalent of western common names, it is certainly logical. for analogy, consider hong hua (red flower) or jin yin hua (gold-silver flower). goldenseal is called bei mei huang lian. any guess on what the bei mei means? How do the chinese render the latin botanical names of plants in their characters. Echinacea is an herb of worldwide interest and I would be surprised if the chinese have not done some research on it. Try medline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 Ah, I have a really old copy and didn't know that about the newer edition. Thanks, Z'ev.
