Qiqi  +  319231 Wed, 24 Jan 07 10:27 AM Hi, I'm a chinese college student in Traditional Chinese Medicine.Now i'm having my interpretation courses and I find it difficult to pronounce the english name of chinese herbs, for example,schizonepeta( how to pronounce?this is a kind of  pungent and warm properties herbs which wide use in clinical treatment). Do anyone know the interpretation website of chinese medicine? That will be a great help. Thanks a lot qiqi Qiqi Joined on Tue, Jan 23 2007 New Member 03
