The issue seems to be this:
Dale said:
WM said:Some people develop a form of contact dermatitis to Dit Da Jow and cannot use it.
You can add Er Cha 30 grams or She Chuang Zi 30 grams to help deal with the allergic type reactions to medicines.
WHich has NOTHING to do with what Dale said since Dale was talking about allergic reactions to medicines and NOT dry or sore skin.She Chuang Zi (Cnidium) should never be used on sore or dry skin, something Dale failed to mention. For this reason, I would strongly advise consulting someone with actual credentials and experience regarding Dit Da Jow as improper use can lead to serious injury.
To which Dale replies:
To which WM replies:Anytime you want to post up your Chinese medical credentials over my own. Please feel free to do so.
Until then you are nothing that you claim you are.
Please do not listen to anything this person says. He is untrained and unlicensed in Chinese herbs.
The link of course says:Stop mouthherbing cupcake. TAO YIN, I was taught by my master, but take a look at this website if you need further information on this clearly misunderstood seed - http://www.herbpalace.com/herbs/cnidium-seed.html
The operative part in the context of what Dale said is:Cnidium seeds are most commonly used to treat itchy skin, rashes, eczema and ringworm, typically in the genital area. These conditions are treated by grinding cnidium seeds with water into a solution and applying to the skin. Cnidium seeds are also taken internally to treat vaginal discharges and/or increase sexual potency. Cnidium is often combined with herbs such as cuscuta and schisandra to treat infertility and impotence; in many classical traditional Chinese medicine texts, cnidium is used as a form of aphrodisiac.
And the silliness went on from there.Cnidium seeds are most commonly used to treat itchy skin, rashes, eczema and ringworm,
