Bai Zhi Slices (Angelica dahurica) are the dried root slices of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bái Zhǐ (白芷). Also called Dahurian Angelica Root, Bai Zhi has been prized for centuries as a warming, wind-dispelling herb used to relieve headaches, ease nasal congestion, and brighten the complexion. Its nature is warm and pungent, making it a gently stimulating herb for dispersing cold, drying dampness, and opening the nasal passages.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sliced and sun-dried to preserve its pale yellowish-white color, firm yet slightly porous texture, and distinctive aromatic, slightly camphor-like fragrance. When simmered, the slices soften and release a warm, pungent, mildly sweet flavor that adds depth to broths and infusions without overpowering other ingredients.
