What is a fitting website for researching chinese herb?
It would be nice to know somewhere that has information about the uses and preparation of herbs.
Best Answer: I'm really surprised that the first answerer give you a link stating that chinese medicine is lacking scientifically,doesn't work or is "hocus pocus" for denial of better words.There are many studies done on Chinese herbs and there would be various more if funding for studies were available. I wonder if he actually openmindedly researched it himself or whether he just blindly followed this assessment off a skeptic's website -something like Quackwatch for example? Here are some links: http://www.worldscinet.com/ajcm/ http://chinesemedicinenews.com/ http://www.sacredlotus.com/herbs/index.cfm http://tcm.health-info.org/Herbology.Materia.Medica/gansui-properties.htm http://images.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://orientalacuherb.com/files/Gan_Sui.GIF&imgrefurl=http://orientalacuherb.com/files/&usg=__7BL8ogRljE41_48Z8HeRLzNMy2E=&h=1814&w=1494&sz=697&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=WRBmZDLOqOykVM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgan%2Bsui%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rlz%3D1R1GGGL_en___AU313%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 I also wonder if your first answerer is aware that many prescription medicine are plant based so that when he gets medication from his M.D he is sometimes getting herbal medicine including Tamiflu.The bed material for tamiflu is shikimic acid that was extracted from Star Anise until only just when a way of making shikimic acid artificially was found. http://health.howstuffworks.com/health-illness/treatment/medicine/medications/tamiflu1.htm Some more example are Vinblastin Quinine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopolamine Digoxin from Fox Glove http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digoxin Emetine http://www.vestapharm.com/cynarin.html Glaucine Buscopan(Hyoscyamine) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7196702.stm /plantderived_drugs_products_technology_applications.html
I have more links sorry but YA would only let me post 10.
