As most of you have probably seen in the news recently, this herb is being researched for it's use as an acetcholinesterase inhibitor utilized to treat Alzheimer's disease. It's pharmaceutical name is Huperzine A. My question is this. Has anyone on this list ever learned this herb in school and/or seen it used in any formulas? Best Regards, David Russell, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Huperzine A is a compound isolated from the herb for its brain effects. The whole herb is used for entirely different functions in TCM. ............................................. Bill Schoenbart, L.Ac. P.O.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 BTW, the pinyin name qian ceng ta can refer to 2 differents herbs. It is the official name for serrate club moss (Lycopodii Serrati Herba), but is an alternate name for basil (jiu ceng ta). Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
