Doug, your mail is a reminder to check the BOOKS! I had searched

Google briefly and found some hits, but did not find the Herb Class then.

 

PD of CM (Wiseman & Ye) has it under Medicinals for External Use

(p728)

 

On p41, it says: Brown blossom lichen (peach-blossom lichen, facial

pityriasis): Apply tincture of Tujingpi (golden larch (root) bark). [see

below: warning on use on face!]

 

On p 689 it says: Wind lichen (tinea corporis): Apply topical Lichen

Medicinal Water (Xianyaoshui) or Tincture of Golden Larch (root) Bark

(Tujinpi Ding).

 

Note that both pinyin forms (TuJINGpi and TuJINpi) are used. The Jing

and Jin characters differ in Hanzi.
