Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi All, I would appreciate feedback (on or off-list) on the professional details of both herbs, under the following headings: _Herb Details Wujiapi Ciwujia _Class Action _Medicinal Latin Name _Common name _Temp _Taste _Channels Entered _Dose _Actions _Clinical Uses _Combinations _CI/Cautions Differing data on WWW about the two herbs - Ciwujia and Wujiapi - confuse me. Different sources use BOTH of those Pinyin names for " Siberian Ginseng " . A Chinese Government website says: Wujiapi = Acanthopanax gracilistylus, Dried Cx-Rx = Cx Acanthopanacis = Slenderstyle Acanthopanax Cx [Araliaceae] Ciwujia = Acanthopanax senticosus, Dried Rx+Rz / stem = Rx / Caulis Acanthopanacis Senticosi = Manyprickle Acanthopanax [Araliaceae] Which one of those IS " Siberian Ginseng " ? Which one IS Eleuthero? Chinese Herbal Medicine - Materia Medica [Eastland Press] Changes and Errata Corrected in 2nd Printing says: " Acanthopanax gracilistylus ... was recently rechristened Eleutherococcus nodiflorus. This is another reason to match the pinyin and pharmaceutical names for identification purposes.¡± .... Some examples of this change are: Eleutherococci nodiflori Cx [was Acanthopanacis Cx]; Eleutherococci senticosi Rx+Caulis [was Acanthopanacis senticosi Rx+Caulis Eleutherococcus giraldii Cx [was Acanthopanacis giraldii Cx] Best regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
