For a better energetic summary of fewer herbs Jeremy Ross's Combining Western Herbs and Chinese Medicine is very good.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting to look at the patterns similar to Motherwort, Blisswort, certain Agastaches and Wood Betony. They have a great deal in common but place different emphasis on different areas in the body. Blisswort and Wood Betony are probably the best nerve trophorestoratives of the bunch. <BR/><BR/>I do think there's more nerve trophorestoratives then generally recognized, including Vervain, Blisswort, Borage, Milky Oats, perhaps Lavender and most definitely Sage. <BR/><BR/>Yay for Wood Betony!Oakmoss Changelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859460712415875912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10862307.post-81212218404257662672007-10-27T13:47:00.000-04:002007-10-27T13:47:00.000-04:00funny, i just started reading up on betony a few d...funny, i just started reading up on betony a few days ago and now it's popping up everywhere! it's definitely on my to-grow list for 2008.<BR/><BR/>what does trophorestorative mean?tansyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03126378170210755616noreply@blogger.com
