Are the herbs all plant materials?

Acupuncture FAQs

A majority of the substances are from plants and can include leaves, flowers, stems, twigs, barks, roots, tubers, and rhizomes. If you do not want animal products in your formula, your practitioner can substitute plant materials instead.

Are all Chinese herbs plant derived?

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine — New York NYC
Although it is called Chinese herbal medicine, the Chinese materia medica does contain some animal and mineral medicinals. However, the vast majority of herbal formulas do not contain medicinals derived from animals, and vegan patients can easily be accommodated by the use of herbs to substitute for the animal product.

Are all Chinese herbs of plant origin?

Lightsong | Questions & Answers
While the majority of herbs are from roots, rhizomes, tubers, leaves, flowers, bark, and twigs, the "material medical" of Chinese herbal medicine includes substances of animal and mineral origin as well. Many modern herbalists will not use animal substances such as tiger bone, or rhinoceros horn, due to problems with extinction and animal cruelty, but it is always recommended that you ask your herbalist what is being used in your formula.

When is the best time to plant herbs?

FAQs
In our climate, you can plant herbs year round, keeping in mind that summer can be hard on any plant if they are not given proper care and water. Some do better at different times however. For instance, dill, cilantro, chervil, and most greens (such as arugula and mustard) are cool season plants and do best when planted in fall, winter, or early spring. They will not tolerate the heat of our summers.

Are there hormones in the herbs?

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
No. Some herbs contain phyto-oestrogens (plant-steroids), but these are not the same as human hormones. Sometimes we may use a homeopathic called progesteronum to encourage the body to produce more progesterone, but this is only done on a case by case scenario if necessary. Your therapist will communicate with you and let you know if they feel this is appropriate. Because it is a homeopathic preparation this is thousands of times less concentrated than any synthetic medication you would take.

During the early twentieth century, this herb was included in many over-the-counter sedatives and sleep aids. In Germany passionflower is available as an over-the-counter sedative (in combination with other calming herbs such as valerian and lemon balm). It is also used in German homeopathic medicine to treat pain, insomnia, and nervous restlessness.

Will you identify a plant for me?

Frequently Asked Questions | USDA PLANTS
We’d like to but it is very difficult to do without specimens; verbal descriptions rarely suffice. If the identification is important to you consult your local library, especially a college or university library, for references used to identify the native or horticultural plants of your area. Illustrations, either photos or line drawings, can be most helpful.

It is important to identify the plants at your site, or at least the priority weeds and any natives that they may be confused with. There are many good books that we have listed in the library section of this website. There are also links to herbaria on line that you may find helpful. Creating a photographic record or pressed specimen of the plant you want to identify can be helpful; see our fact sheet on creating a herbarium at your Patch.

If the plants are already in pots, dig a hole and gently remove the plant from the pot with as much soil as you can. The soil should just cover the crown. If the plant is bought in a store or as a bare root, plant with the same proceedure as in above but if the root is very dry, soak in water for a day to revive the plant and give it a boost. Water well for the first couple of days as this lets the soil settle around the roots.

Nothing much happens until soil (not air) temperature is 40°F or higher. So planting too early in the spring gains little. In the fall 4-6 weeks of soil temperature of 40°F are needed for bamboo to establish. Most of the books will tell you to plant in the spring. This is contrary to our experience: we have routinely planted into October here in new England with great success.
