Title: TCM explorations
Post by: handy on June 23, 2007, 08:31:35 AM
Hi All

Have little access to interesting plant materials in my location except for those sold for Traditional Chinese Medicine.  So have been working on  them to further my exploration of reality.

Have achieved some small results with calamus, henbane seeds, galangal and lotus/water lilies but the main goal is to meet the machine elves.

I am confident that Tribulus can fill the MAOI function as it has (just) discernable effects on its own but I am left looking for the elfspice.  Evodia is of interest but experiments with that led to concern that it had some sort of nerve poison effect.  Phragmites roots had no effect and so I seem to be running short on prospects.

Any suggestions ?  Anyone been down this road before and/or interested in comparing notes ?

Mimosa Hostilis is pretty much the way to go.

perhaps some species within the genus Pandanus (screw-pine) may work as trypt-carriers...

I've never found any suitable pandanus species, as of yet, anyways:)
