Hard herbs like sanqi (tianqi). Perhaps some minerals. Resins like ruxing, moyao, and xuejie can gum it up. But the biggest thing is never let it overheat. Don't run it for too long without letting it cool down.
It is only 200 grams. It was the smallest one available at the time. I only play around in my kitchen so I don't need a big one. If you are doing it for patients often, you probably want bigger.
Hi Lorraine, thanks for the video. I just started grinding herbs as well and as you said the noise it makes lol, horrible
Yeah, but it sets you free to make a lot of other stuff. Oh, well...
Hi Lorraine,
Thank you for sharing knowledge.
Please can you give the names of herbs that can broke the grinder?

This is great Lorraine. thanks for your generosity. Is that a 1000 gm grinder?

Can it grind harder roots?
Most all Chinese herb roots, but not tianqi/sanqi, which is like a rock.
Hi, do you know if this will micronize Kava Kava root powder?
I don't know. I never tried. I have only played with Chinese herbs.
Does it grind sea moss?
I have never tried. What is the problem? It is hard? It is sticky?
@@LorraineWilcox its dried but very tough I will try I just bought the same machine
I am guessing it should work.

@@newmoontarot8193 did it work for grinding sea moss? I currently want to try. I don’t know if I should get this or the mockmill
