Gan Cao Shao?

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

 

In Flaws and Sionneau's, " Treatment of Modern Western diseases with Chinese

Medicine " on page 309 is listed in an a formula treating Interstitial

Cystitis from Blood Stasis an ingredient that I have never heard of before, and

wasn't able to find in my Materia Medicas:  Gan Cao Shao (Radix

Tennuis Glycyrrhizae).  Is it perhaps a special Pao Zhi, a manner of preparing

Gan Cao, is it a unique species of Gan Cao, (I don't think that it is short hand

for Shao Yao Gan Cao Pian, because later in the additions and substitutions that

is listed as an option) or something else?

 

Thanks as always,
