Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi All, Does anyone out ther know what nardostachytis is and does?? A patient brought me the label of a Chinese formula she had taken a while ago, and this is one of the ingredients. It's not in my old copy of Bensky, unless it also has another name.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Heya Andrea, I believe it's the herb Gan Song and it regulates middle jiao qi, stops abdominal pain. It's not a very commonly used herb and believe it's actions are similar to Chen Pi or Mu Xiang. -Danny On Oct 10, 2005, at 8:38 PM, wrote: > Hi All, > > Does anyone out ther know what nardostachytis is and does??

A patient brought me the label of a Chinese formula she had taken a while ago, and this is one of the ingredients. It's not in my old copy of Bensky, unless it also has another name. ¥ÌªQ gan1 song1, nardostachys (Nardostachydis Radix et Rhizoma) is sweet and warm and enters the spleen and stomach channels. It rectifies qi and relieves pain, and arouses the spleen and fortifies the stomach. It is used to treat stomach pain, distention and pain in the chest and abdomen, headache, hysteria (WM) and leg qi. Dosage: Internal use by decoction 0.8-1.5 qian (1 qian= 3.75g everywhere but modern PRC, where it = 3g); can also be made into powders and pills. Externally, steep as a tea or decoct for use as a wash. Contraindicated in qi vacuity with blood heat. Source: zhong yao da ci dian, entry 1186.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 It's also a general analgesic. In terms of that, I'd say it's more like Yan Hu Suo or Chuan Xiong than Chen Pi and Mu Xiang.
