Western herbology, TCM and Infertility

[Guest guest]

Dear Sarah,

 

There are two authors that have categorized Western herbs using TCM

criteria: Peter Holmes whose 2 volume text is " Energetics of Western

Herbs " , and Michael Tierra whose text is called " Planetary Herbology "

 

Best of Luck,

Hello all,

 

I'm currently treating an infertility patient who's been put on a regimen

of Western herbs

by another practioner. Would anyone have any resources to recommend to

help me get a

better understanding of what she's taking? I seem to remember an

herbology text that

categorized Western herbs as if they were Chinese (ie, by taste, temp,

channels). I've only

been doing acupuncture on her, but would like to put her on a formula.

She's jing and

blood vacuous, so I feel this is really an herbal case.

 

Would be happy to share more details, if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Sarah Rivkin

I'm glad to say there's now another in print.

Jeremy Ross has put out 'Combining Western Herbs and :

Principles, Practice and Materia Medica'. I don't yet have it but I've

heard only good things about it. It's $149.00 for 970 pages (hardcover

with 1,500 references) and goes over 50 Western herbs in detail. I

have a couple of his other books and have been quite impressed with

his writing and perspective. Gus Turpin
