SV: Detoxing in TCM -- does it exist?

[Guest guest]

Phil and all,

 

My comments are that the way Phil expresses it, that we are to find herbs

that are PROTECTING the liver or kidney, is much better than talking about

detoxifying herbs. In my opinion ALL plants that are stimulating and

strengthening the organ, will make it stronger and more protected against

toxins. So, the best plant to do this, and also stimulate the recovery of

the liver, is SYMPHYTUM OFFICINALE. Again I must allow myself to advocate

the use of western herbs, which seem to fit western people better than

eastern herbs.

Hi All,

 

(1) Many Chinese medicinals have actions that protect LV against

toxins. Hepatoprotective Hbs include:

 

Baijiangcao; Baishao; Baizhu; Banyacai; Banzhilian; Biejia; Bulaocao;

Chaihu; Chuanxinlian; Chuipencao; Cilaoya; Dahuang; Daji (Cirsium);

Dangyao; DASUAN; Dazao; Ercha; Ezhu (Guangxi); Fuling; Gancao;

Gouqigen; Gouqizi; Guizhi (Zhi); Heilaohugen; Heshouwu; Hongjingtian;

Huajiao; Huzhang; Jianghuang; Jiaogulan; Jinsitao; Jinyinhua;

Jisongrong; Jixuecao; Kushen; Laoguancao; Lianqiao; Lingzhi;

Longdancao; Luhui; Mayi; Meirenjiaogen; Mohanlian; Mugua; Muxu;

Nuzhenzi; Pugongying; Qinghao; Qingyedan; Qiuguozijinshu; Sanqi;

Shaji; Shandougen; Shechuangzi; Shengjiang; Shengma; Shiliuhua;

Shuifeiji; Shuifeiji; Shuiqin; Tianguadi; Weilingxian; Wenjing;

Wuweizi; Wuzhuyu; Xianggu; Xiangjincai; Xiaoji (Cirsium /

Cephalanoploris); Xiecaogen; Xiheliu; Xiyangshen; Yangjinhua;

Yinchenhao; Yunzhi; Zexie; Zhizi; Zhuling; Zishiying;

 

(2) Other Chinese medicinals have actions that protect KI against

toxins. Renoprotective Hbs include:

 

Ejiao; Leigongteng; Renshen; Tufuling.

 

Indeed, many other Hbs that Tone KI and / or act as Diuretics, may

have Renoprotective effects also.

 

(3) Some medicinals have BOTH actions. Examples of Dual

Hepatoprotective + Renoprotective Hbs include:

Danggui; Dahuang; Danshen; Dongchongxiacao; Gegen; Huangqi; Lurong;

 

As LV and KI are the two main rogans involved in detox, it could be

argued that a selection of Hbs from List 3, possibly fortified with 1-

2 herbs from List 1 + 2, could be used as a general Detox Formula.
