Anyone use or know of this chinese herb?

I used self heal in formulas during years of battling endometriosis, and plan to resume using traditional Chinese medicine to prevent recurrence of my ER positive breast cancer after standard adjuvant care is completed.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs are generally used in formulas, rather than as single herbs, to avoid side effects and long term complications. They have several formulas far more powerful than self heal for treating active cancer. Some have been tested at NIH and found to have some efficacy.

Yes, it's really a weed. It grew as a volunteer in the organic garden I had in Pennsylvania for years. It can grow in many areas. It was great for using as a poultice on wounds as well.
