Sperb’s Herbs –

Nourish the Yin Formulas and E Bu Shi Cao (Small Centipeda Herb)

We are going to be recording two episodes of the Sperb’s Herbs podcast. The first covers another class of Chinese formulas, the nourish the yin formulas, used for a variety of reasons and often for women’s issues including menstrual and menopausal. The second episode covers the Chinese herb E Bu Shi Cao (Small Centipeda Herb) from the warm, acrid herbs that release the exterior category. Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective, there will always be something different to learn about these herbs and formula!
