Digest Number 1231, Zi Shi Ying

keeps springing to

mind is Zi Shi Ying- fluorite, as it is used to warm the

uterus- is there an

equivilant for semen?).

 

I always wondered about Zi Shi Ying. Bensky has it listed

in the spirit calming medicinals. I haven't seen it in any

pharmacies so far.

 

I've seen people who seem spacy and disoriented. (Nervous,

vegan, walking around and bumping into things, slow soft

voice)These would be the people I have a desire to do

Kidney 1 on. I don't know that Chinese has an analogy for

being grounded, although I'm sure someone on this scholarly

list will know . It seems to me that heavy substances

would ground someone. I was particularly interested to know

if anyone has ever heard of using Zi Shi Ying in this

fashion. I have been tempted to get some ground up flourite

from a stone cutter friend and just try it, but I imagine

there could be some contamination-maybe lead? Also, at this

point, I would be guilty of MUS, as Todd says.

 

Any ideas?

I use it frequently when treating infertility that involves cold. I rarely reach for it as a medicinal to settle and clam the spirit, although this is mainly just my habit. It is interesting to note that zi shi ying is an excellent source of iron, and even low-normal iron levels can cause a person to feel cold.

It is easy to purchase from any herb supplier.

And yes, heavy minerals are thought, in general, to be " grounding " .
