I want to pick this up for some home made tea to help regulate my hormones. In most cases it is mixed with other herbs to do this. I am researching Chinese herbs as well as the western traditional.
A natural doctor certificate is about 5 thousand dollars at the Canadian Academy of Alternative Medicine. I want to know if student loans here cover this.
It appears they mix it with herbs such as Nuo dao gen for night sweats, and Qing huo for hot flashes. Now with Chinese herbals, the same as western, they mix it to your specifications. I do not have the hot flashes or sweats yet. The bupleurum for the hormones and rehmannia for premature graying are two that would be used for me. The gray I have is like wow. I did not even know premature graying existed.
CHinese herbs are usually combo prescribed to what YOU NEED. I do not have sweats or hot flashes so no one should use anything they are not requiring. Also with menopause comes a dryness of the vagina, this I have not noticed to often so I am assuming this is not a problem yet. The premature graying though, wow, that hit me like a brick. I have so much gray at 38 and began graying in my twenties.
I am bookmarking some chinese herbal sites with the names of the herbs, and what they do. Now I am not going to even try to make them myself right now. The warnings on the sites are extensive to how much powder is ground to make them. The warnings are very large on the listing. I would rather buy it pre ground, and ask how much in the tea ball per herb to use for me. It might even go by personal weight too??
I am not looking at recipes, I am looking at names of herbs and the functions of the herbs. That is how you learn to be a herbalist or special natural doctor. It is not done by ripping off other peoples recipes, it is done by studying herbal encyclopedia’s which I am doing.
