Thanks @foodmatters I shall endeavour to further increase the number of words seldom used online with my blatherings! ;-)

I'm liking it too. Sooo much cleaner and simpler than other interfaces.

Hi @kromosoom thanks for the all the advice. I'll check it out. So much to read up on and I've only posted one thing. Wonderful! :-)

@gentlesoul (nice handle) do you mean what herbs are used by followers of the Dao? i.e. The Daoists? Yes, some of the herbs they use will be part of Chinese medicinal herbal canon. Although some will not.

@onority. Thanks for the support. Steemian - nice. Looking forward to participating as Steem along.

@androsform thanks for your support.

Thank you. I've just read some of your food related posts. Good stuff. Can't wait to try them. :-)

Hi, @threefields Cool. Always nice to meet a fellow Chinese philosophy nerd. Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out. :-)

Thanks. Looking forward to participating.

Any thoughts / advice on just munching on dried Goji berries? Worth re-hydrating before eating or?...

Yeah, it's still rather a niche field, despite increasing popularity. And the number of people within the field who read source material in the original language... well that's a niche within a niche.

I can't imagine how much time I'd lose reading Manga in the original language - all of Attack On Titan! :-D Bad enough watching hours of Anime with subtitles.

Hi and welcome to Steemit. Looking forward to reading your posts on Chinese medicine and philosophy.
