Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Here's another herb I came across in a formula treating wind-heat with underlying wei deficiency: xu chang qing (Paniculate cynanchum) It was an added ingredient to cang er zi san, along with chan tui, fang feng and huang qi. Can anyone please tell me about it? Yehuda " When you see someone doing something wrong, realize that it was brought before you because you did something similar. Therefore, do not judge him, judge yourself. " The Baal Shem Tov Hakodesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yehuda, You hang out with Ji Zhang, don't you? He's big on this herb. It is an herb for external wind and he describes it as something like an anti-histimine, which is essentially how I use it. -al.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 The Colored Atlas of Chinese Materia Medica Specified in Chinese Pharmacopoeia says of xu chang qing (Radix Cynanchi Paniculati): Acrid, warm. Dispels wind and transforms dampness, relieves pain and relieves itching. Used for wind-damp impediment pain; stomach pain, distention, and fullness; toothache; pain in the lumbus; knocks and falls; urticaria; and eczema. 3-12 g, not suitable for prolonged decoction. Hope that helps. It was taken from the Chinese text because the English translation in that book is atrocious. A perfect example of the loss to TCM by using Western terminology to translate TCM concepts. By using purely Western terms thoughout the book, it is not obvious to the reader which information is TCM and which is Western. Using Wiseman terminology to translate it allows the reader to discern which indications are based on CM diagnosis and which are based on WM (such as urticaria and eczema in this example).

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Thanks Eric and Al, Yep, it's from Dr. Zhang. I'm surprised that it's not more widely know or used.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Again - Mazin Al-Khafaji uses this substance a lot for itching in dermatological conditons.
