We at Blue Poppy Herbs consider Rhodiola, Hong Jing Tian, a qi and yin

supplement. We include it in our formula HyperQuell for qi and yin

vacuity pattern hypertension, since this medicinal also empirically is

hypotensive and cardiac-benefitting.

Phil -

 

This is what I have for Guijiu. It appears to be a different plant, especially if it contains podophyllin.

 

Just for pulse - that Hong Jing Tian is amazing for boosting Da Qi contribution to the generation of zong into ying qi and wei qi. The impaired status of Da Qi acquisition power is represented by a weak lung pulse (many studies show increased blood oxygen with hong jing tian consumption).

Through a critical study of ancient Chinese herbals, it is concluded that the botanical origin of Guijiu should be Dysosma versipellis or D. pleiantha instead of Sinopodophyllum emodi, and that Xiaoyelian was originated from the latter. In Chinese Pharmacopoeia and many other books, the botanical origin of Xiaoyelian was erroneously referred to as Podophyllum emodi

Shang MY, Xu GJ, Xu LS, Li P. [Herbalogical study of Chinese drug guijiu andxiaoyelian]. Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi.1994;19(8):451-3, 510.

 

Two patients developed podophyllin intoxication following ingestion of a broth of the Chinese herb guijiu. The neurological manifestations are described and the pathology of the peripheral neuropathy is fully documented with ultrastructural and quantitative studies.
