The white mulberry tree has many different uses in Traditional Chinese Medicine. You have the berries (sang shen), the twigs (sang zhi), the leaves (sang ye) and the root bark (sang bai pi). Each part of the plant has a different use. Besides being a tasty edible, the fruit is used as a mild blood tonic and is mostly used for issues such as constipation. The twigs are in the "dispel wind damp" category of herbs and would be more used for issues such as arthritis. The leaves "release the exterior" and "clear heat" so would be useful for cold/flu type of issues; they also benefit the eyes and can often be paired with chrysanthemum or goji berries for certain eye issues. The root bark is a fantastic herb that drains heat from the lungs to transform phlegm and stop cough. It promotes urination and can also be used for some cases of edema and hypertension. These are just a few of the possible uses for the different parts of the white mulberry tree. There is much more versatility to these things than just making cobbler or moonshine.

Mimosas! (No, not that kind) … I’m sure everyone has seen these flowers blooming towards the beginning of summer. Mimosa flowers/he huan hua is a great herb to regulate qi. It is typically used in formulas to help with issues such as anxiety, insomnia, or premenstrual tension. The bark can also be used and has similar properties in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The bark is typically used more for injuries/pain, but both regulate qi and calm the spirit. It’s a great herb for our stressed out society. ••••••••

With the recent cicada swarm coming to an end I figured I’d write about the Traditional Chinese Medicine ingredient they leave behind when entering the world: Chan tui/cicada exoskeleton. As would be expected per the concept of doctrine of signatures this herb belongs to the cool, acrid herbs that release the exterior. It is typically used as an auxiliary herb for dermatological conditions arising from wind heat though it can be used for other symptoms arising from wind heat such as allergies. One traditional formula that this herb appears in is Xiao Feng San/Eliminate wind powder.

While the legal status of certain aspects of this plant remains criminalized in parts of America, one part remains legal (at least in this context) and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries: H**p Seeds! H**p seeds/Huo Ma Ren are most often used as a gentle laxative to moisten and lubricate the intestines. It mildly nourishes the yin and moistens dryness. In formulas it is often mixed with other herbs, but it is also something that can just be found at various local grocery stores and added into your diet. From a nutrition standpoint they are a great way to get omega 3 fats, provide an excellent source for minerals such manganese, phosphorous, and copper. Just another great example of how food can be medicine.

This jelly fungus is aptly called “wood ear.” It has been used for centuries in cooking and belongs to the category of herbs that regulates blood to cool blood and stop bleeding. It is typically just used in soups as a thickener for conditions such as hemorrhoids. It is a fungus that doesn’t have a particular season and can be found nearly year round. There was plenty out on the trail today.
