== Herb Usage ==

This article discusses the use of herbs for various physical needs in
a very simplified way. As the use of herbs to treat diseases can be
complicated, depending on the condition of the patient, the stage of
treatment, as well as other herbs/drugs that are taken, this article
is not to be used for self-prescription, and neither is it to be used
for prescribing for others. This is especially true for large dosages,
repeated or long-term use of herbs or herbal formulas.

The usage of herbs is but one aspect in Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM), although it is probably the most important and extensive
aspect. Herbs are so extensively used that many herbs are also used in
everyday cooking, and these herbs include leaves, stems and roots
(such as ginger or garlic), various parts of the lotus plant, many
types of nuts and seeds (such as the ginkgo nut), as well as spices
(such as "bo he" or peppermint).

Most "herbs" are plant-based, but a few are mineral-based, and some
are even based on animal products. As many animals are facing imminent
extinction, including large animals such as the tiger, the animal-
based "herbs" listed here are for information purposes only, as it is
no longer legal to buy or sell them. Some animal-based products are
not only illegal, but are also likely to be fakes. In addition, it is
relatively easy to find substitutes in the plant world, if these
substitutes have not been banned or regulated.

==Usage of some Chinese herbs==

===Tonics===

Some herbs may be used as tonics for different types of "energy"
including "Qi" or 气 (air), "Xue" or 血 (blood), "Yang" or 阳 (positive
energy), "Yin" or 阴 (negative energy), etc. In TCM terminology, "Yin"
energy does not carry negative connotations. In fact, both Yin and
Yang energies, in equal amounts, are just as essential to maintain
health. "Qi" energy tonics are used to promote "Qi" when conditions
known as "Qixu" or lack of "Qi", occur. Similarly, "Xue", "Yang" and
"Yin" tonics are meant for conditions of "Xuexu", "Yangxu" and "Yinxu"
respectively.

The converse of herbs used as tonics are herbs to reduce or inhibit
the "evils", including "heat", "dampness", and "wind". Common symptoms
of "heat" are boils, sore throats and mouth ulcers, although these are
not exclusively symptoms of "heat". The "evils" can act together to
form compound evils such as damp-heat and wind-heat. To diagnose and
identify the root cause(s) from symptoms is not easy and should only
be attempted by trained personnel. For example, the root cause for
symptoms of "yinxu" could be "heat", and treating the symptoms without
treating its root cause can exacerbate the problem in the long run,
although in the short run the treatment seems to work. Tonics are
therefore not a cure-all, and a little knowledge can indeed be a
dangerous thing.

===General Usage (Part 1)===

!Herb Usage
|-
|ren shen
|人参 {21} (Tone)<ref>The digits within the braces {} represent the
tones used to pronounce the term. There are 4 tones, so {21} means
that the first character is pronounced in the 2nd tone, and the next
character in the 1st tone. This differs from the standard way of
representing the tones, namely, by incorporating the tone within the
pinyin term itself, such as "ren2 shen1". The standard way of tonal
representation (such as that found in CEDICT) makes it difficult to do
a free-text search in a webpage, and is cumbersome when a term is
repeated within a page. For example, it is easier and more consistent
to search for "ren shen" rather than to search for "ren2 shen1".
Another reason why this non-standard way of tonal representation is
used is because Chinese characters are complex, so TCM pharmacists may
write the herb names in "short-form", namely, by using similar-
sounding characters with fewer strokes. Owing to this habit, the tone
can become more important than the actual character itself. For
example, the word 柴 is often written as 才, which sounds roughly the
same, although they are completely different in meaning. This is
similar to SMS (messaging or texting) convention, where "r" is used to
represent "are", and "u" to represent "you", etc. The tones are
generally obtained from the CEDICT project. </ref>

</ref>
|Ginseng. Lit:human valuable_herb. (Literally) <ref> The term "Lit:"
is used to indicate the literal meaning of each Chinese character. For
example, 赤 can mean "red" or "naked" and 芍 means "peony", so for
simplicity, under "Common Name" for 赤芍, it is indicated as "Lit:red
peony". Although the translation of each character may or may not be
equivalent to the meaning of the term as a whole, it may give depth to
the understanding of the whole term. For example, 玉竹 is generally
translated as "jade bamboo", but it does not look like jade at all. In
fact, the character 玉 can also mean "jasper", so "jasper bamboo" is
perhaps more accurate in terms of describing how the herb looks like.
Where a character is never used alone, such as 艽 and 礞, the literal
meaning is just a repetition of the character itself. For example, the
literal meaning of 秦艽 is represented as "Lit:"Qin"_dynasty 艽". The
underscore character is used to concatenate words that represent a
single Chinese character. Note: Sometimes the translation of
individual characters will have a very different meaning from that of
the whole term. For example, in the term "黄莲", the two characters,
when translated severally, mean "yellow lotus", but the term "黄莲" as a
whole actually means "Coptidis Rhizoma".

==Formulas==

Formulas are herb combinations that may exhibit activity <ref>
http://ecam.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/1/1/83 </ref> that
is shown by none of the individual herbs in a formula. The following
formulas <ref> C.Y. Ung, H. Li, C.Y. Kong, J.F. Wang, Y.Z. Chen:
"Usefulness of traditionally defined herbal properties for
distinguishing prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine from non-
prescription recipes", Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 109(1):21-28, 3
January 2007 </ref> use a combination of herbs to "balance" and
improve on the strengths of the principal herbs. The principal herbs
are listed first in a formula, and usually carry the most weight, that
is, they are the heaviest in a formula.
The most common way of using a herb combination is via an aqueous (hot-
water) extract, known as "tang" or 汤, which may be called a soup.
[http://www.wikipedia.biz/wikipedia/li/Liquor.html Alcohol] <ref>Kyung-
Min C., Jingu G., Jisoo Y.:
"Anti-Toxoplasma gondii RH strain activity of herbal extracts used in
traditional medicine",
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 32(4):360-362, October
2008.</ref> extracts are possible for some herbs, such as Ginseng, but
the ginsenosides extracted via alcohol are different from that
extracted with water. Herb combinations can also be ground into powder
form, known as "san" or 散, and put into capsules, or mixed directly
with water and ingested. Another common way, especially for patented
TCM formulas, is via tablets, known as "wan" or 丸. Where not indicated
otherwise, the formulas are meant for aqueous extraction (boiling).
The dosages indicated refer to relative weights, and there may be
rounding errors in converting qian/liang (in the Chinese weights
system) to grams. As a host of variables are involved in a correct
diagnosis, only a qualified physician may prescribe a formula for any
particular individual. Hence the formulas should not be used for self-
prescription.

*Dia Da (Impact Injuries)

The term "Dia-Da" literally means "Fall-Hit" in Mandarin. The
Cantonese equivalent is [[Dit_da_jow]] which alludes to the
"wine" ("jow") or alcohol used to treat this form of injury. This term
is a graphic way to describe impact injuries, namely injuries that
probably result from falling down or being hit by something. In modern
living, these injuries could conceivably be the result of colliding
with a vehicle, or being hit by a ball, racket, stick or bat.

Chao Shen Qu 炒神曲,
Chao Mai Ya 炒麦芽,
Chao Bai Zhu 炒白朮.

-An example of a herb that may be honey-fried:

Note: In TCM texts, "Wine" or "Jiu" does not usually refer to
alcoholic drinks made from grapes. It may refer to solutions with a
high alcohol content exceeding 40% of total volume, as some Chinese
Wines, such as Kao Liang Jiu, has up to 60% alcohol content. In TCM
terminology, "Jiu" is frequently translated as "Wine", although it is
probably more accurate to translate it as "Alcohol", since it can
refer to alcohol from any source, including rice, millet and sorghum.

==Meanings of Terms==

#The meanings of some Latin/pharmaceutical terms as used in herb
names:
##Bulbus - bulb
##Caulis - stem
##Colla - animal glue
##Concha - shell
##Cornu - animal horn
##Corrii - animal hide
##Cortex - bark
##Cum - with
##Degelatinum - degelatinated fragments
##Et - and
##Exocarpium - outer bark
##Extractae - extract
##Fermentata - fermented
##Flos - flower
##Folium - leaf
##Fructus - fruit
##Gelatina, Gelatinum - gelatin
##Herba - leaves and stems
##Lignum - woody parts
##Os - bone
##Pericarpium - seed husk
##Praeparata - prepared
##Pulvis - powder
##Radix - root
##Recens - raw

##Semen - seed
##Seu - or
##Spora - spore
##Spp. - species
# The terms used in this article reflect typical TCM usage (as
translated literally from individual Chinese characters), and may not
reflect their meanings in TCM, namely, meanings that are normative,
figurative or metaphorical when read in context. The meanings of these
terms are therefore different from that in common English usage. In
particular, they are not to be used for purposes of self-diagnosis,
much less for self-medication. For example, "Xia Huo" means "To reduce
fire", but "fire" here does not refer to combustion involving oxygen.
Even within TCM, there are various meanings of "fire", and it can
refer to "real" or "false" fire. The 3 herbs mentioned above cannot be
used to reduce "false fire", or fires of yin deficiency in the zhang
organs.
# An example of the non-literal use of transliterated characters is
"long gu" which literally means "dragon bones". This term cannot
possibly refer to Chinese or other dragons, since they do not exist.
However, one can easily buy "long gu" from any TCM pharmacy. Another
term that cannot be taken literally is "di long" which literally means
"earth dragon".
# Although the above herbs are common in TCM prescriptions, they
cannot be purchased if we refer only to their Latin names. One likely
reason is that TCM pharmacists rarely, if ever, use the Latin names of
the herbs. The Chinese names, or the transliterated names (pinyin)
should be used instead. For example, if we ask for "flos Lonicerae" we
will almost certainly get a blank look. However, if we ask for "jin
yin hua" or '''金银花''' we will connect immediately, even though the
pharmacist may speak any of the large number of Chinese dialects (such
as Cantonese, where the herb is known as "kum gen fa", or Golden
Silver Flower, in Hong Kong). Wherever possible, use the written form
(金银花) to avoid miscommunication and/or mis-pronunciation, since there
is no dialect form of the written language.
# There are a large number of synonyms of the herb names, in both
Chinese, English and Latin. This makes it even more essential to use
the written form of the Chinese names to ensure accuracy. For example,
in a number of websites, "dong quai", "tang-kuei", "teng-kui" and
"dang gui" are treated as different herbs, when in fact they refer to
the same herb transliterated differently. "Dong quai" is the Cantonese
form of "tang-kui" which, in proper pinyin, should be spelt as "dang
qui", and "teng-kui" is simply a typographical error transmitted and
repeated in cyberspace.
# Some herbs are prone to adulteration, substitution, or both. For
example, Ling Zhi Cao (Cordyceps) can be substituted with an inactive
form of the herb. If an extract is first made with water, the herb
will be tasteless when dried and re-used/recycled. On the other hand,
the genuine Ling Zhi tastes bitter, but few consumers would know the
difference, especially if the herb is mixed in a prescription and
boiled together with other herbs. The pharmacists themselves may not
be aware, as some may trust their suppliers implicitly, and do not
conduct regular testing. (Ref: Yoe-Ray K., Yuan-Shiun C., Kuo-Ching
W., Li-Kang H., "Analysis and confirmation of synthetic anorexics in
adulterated traditional Chinese medicines by high-performance
capillary electrophoresis", Journal of Chromatography A, 848(1-2):
537-543, 2 July 1999.)
# Animal-based "herbs" are prone to substitution or adulteration,
including "xiong dan" (bear bile / gall bladder) which looks very much
like "niu dan" (bovine bile /gall bladder) when the gall bladder is
dried, although "niu dan" is far less bitter in taste. Some are simply
unavailable because they are banned in many countries. These include
tiger parts, such as "hu gu" (tiger bone) which is substituted by
bobcat bone, and "chuan san jia" (scales of the pangolin) which has no
animal-based substitute. "Niu huang (bovine gallstone) is unavailable
in many Western countries and Singapore because of its potential
impact on pregnant women, although "niu huang" pills with about 2% of
"niu huang" are available in many Asian countries.
# Some herb names may be identical in the pinyin form but can be very
different in their Chinese or Latin forms. An example is "da ji" which
refers to two entirely different herbs with different applications.
One reason is that many Chinese words have the same pronunciation, but
have different meanings, and refer to different written characters.
Some Chinese pharmacists will insist on the written form as a standard
procedure to reduce prescription errors. If the written form is not
sufficiently clear (eg. specifying how the herb is to be prepared),
they will ask to speak to the TCM doctor.
# Alternative names (synonyms) are put in brackets. For example, "mo
han lian" is sometimes called "han lian cao", so the Chinese names are
墨旱莲, (旱莲草). As some herbs have a large number of synonyms, only very
common ones are listed above. Furthermore, variants of the herbs are
not listed. For example, there are many types of ginseng, such as
Korean Ginseng ("kao li shen", a prepared form of ginseng), American
Ginseng ("xi yang shen" or "yang shen"), etc, and these are not listed
above. Some "synonyms" may result from the different ways in which the
terms are translated. For example, 羌活 may be transliterated as "jiang
huo" or "qiang huo" in different texts, so both terms are included to
facilitate searching and for easy reference. The purpose of this
article is not prescriptive (to standardize the terminology used), but
descriptive (to describe what is being used currently).
# Some "herb" names are used euphemistically, and thus may be
misleading. For example, "Seal Testes/Penis" may be called "hai gou
shen" (海狗肾) which literally means "Seal Kidney". Although euphemisms
are found in some texts, practicing TCM pharmacists may not be
familiar with their use.
# The terms used under "Formulas" reflect the terms used in the source
text (book). For example, in the "Heart Dissipation Formula",
pericarpium Citri Reticulatae is called 陈皮 (literally "old skin") in
the text, whereas other texts refer to it as 橘皮 (tangerine skin).

fer sure.

Thanks

Been about looking at Flu stuff. Found out that Rummy has an interest
in Tamiflue. (SP) looked about more and thought with the current hype
what would a herbalist recommend.

Placed my bet on SAMBUCUS aka Black Elderberry . Still looking about
for Black Thorn Syrup similar to welenda offering.

Plant bulbs constitute a relatively small part of the materia medica
used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. No expanation.

Chinese Medicine. The following is a number of such flowers:

allure of a parts manuel or a phonebook. Why don't you amaze us and give
it some rational form? What good is knowledge, if it isn't accessible
and applicable?
