    TCM chinese characters for english words??? Help.

    I took down some formulas for herbs and it was in english. The chinese herb shop that I go to is only familiar with chinese characters

    Are there any good websites that show the english herb name along w/ the chinese characters?


    That way I can write it down or just print it out...

    many thanks!

    excellent resource.. tricky to navigate, but good results.. use the ECDICT (english to chinese dictionary)..

    Hmmm

    Even a Chinese Medicinal outlet would take your order if you even orally gave the name of the herbs in Chinese. Just find out the Chinese names of the herbs and get them to list it for you. If they know the name of it then they can write down the characters.

    Repulsive monkey,

    The english names for chinese herbs dont sound alike. Also "just find the chinese names and write it down."

    that's what i said in the first post.
