Oh sorry for not responding. I do know a lot about stacks but insofar as TCM is concerned the only thing I can mention is Yin Yang Huo/Barrenroot otherwise known as Horny Goat Weed or things like Ginko, Real ginsing or Goji berries

I've always wondered how TCM approaches new world herbs if at all.

I'm still open to answering questions but I don't want to derail the thread. There is legitimacy to this stuff. I took a Tai Chi class from a woman trained by mainland chinese masters from a much more hardcore era who knew their stuff and who I respect dearly for the unironically Jedi like mastery she displayed. I don't like invoking her especially in a tawdry context because I respect and fear this person despite not having seen them in years but TCM, Qui Gong the i Ching and chinese mystecism in general It's not something to balk at even if in the west some might view it with scornful derision. I now know better despite being an White American

I just find it funny you have broscience meatheads and tech nerds shilling mushrooms (not the psychedelic kind) while turning their nose up at TCM. To my surpise almost all of the dumb shit these people push has direct connections to TCM just stripped of it's cultural roots. I'm surprised more don't point it out!

I think in the west it would be wise for TCM to create a syncretic movement around TCM but for a Western audience. I really do think the woo woo shit while understandable only attracted a certain kind of westerner. I do not speak for the experts though just my perspective as a layman but if such things can be adapted for a modern cosmopolitan audience without compromising itself I think it would be good for mankind. I look forward to a deeper dive into such things!
