Chinese herbal medicine?

[Aamna H]

For school I'm doing a project on Chinese herbal medicine. In a few weeks we're doing a display in which we have to have some type of 3D objects to talk about relating to our topic. I thought actually creating some herbal medicine and bringing some herbs in would be a pretty fun idea. Trouble is, i have no idea where to find them. I could probubly make some but the recipes online require ingredients ive never even heard of. does anyone know where to find some ingredients? think ik could find them at my local Papa Joes?or does anyone know some recipes that require slightly less complicated ingredients?

If you live near a Chinatown, you can find plenty of herb stores there. Different recipes have different uses, though for your purposes you probably would just pick one that sounded interesting. If you would send me a recipe you want to bring I could take a look at it, find you pictures of the herbs which you can print out and take to your local Chinese herb store.You know, if there's an Chinese supermarket where you live (and if you're in California, it's probably closer than you think), they sell packets of pre-sorted chinese herbal concoctions. Maybe you could shop around for those?I don't know where you're from but here's a store locator for the Chinese supermarket chain 99 Ranch, which is all over California:http://www.99ranch.com/StoreLocator.aspBest of luck!
