Re: Fu-Rong-Hua (Flos Hibisci mutabalis)

 

When searching for professional details on obscure herbal ingredients, the

starting point for me is to assemble a list of the NAME(s) & SYNONYMS of

the plant or herbal ingredient in English, Latin, Pinyin, Hanzi, Japanese,

Japanese script, Korean, Korean script, etc. [Of course, one could add

synonyms from other languages - Spanish, German, etc]

 

Google is a good place to begin, noting any URLs to databases that may

show up there.

 

Also search Engine of the University of Melbourne MULTILINGUAL

MULTISCRIPT PLANT NAME DATABASE is a good place to start:

http://websearch.its.unimelb.edu.au/google.html?qt=google%20search

 

One can also search the Taiwanese Government terminology database at:

terms.nict.gov.tw/upload/download/download_20060306141615_85124.xls

 

After some hours of searching, here are the summary data:

screened cut, providing a rational basis for clinical therapy. Among these

effective herbs, 10 were aqueous extracts of Artemisia anomala ,

Centella asiatica , Epimedium sagittatum , Hibiscus mutabilis
