Description

Wu Gong (Scolopendra subspinipes), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Wú Gōng (蜈蚣), is the dried body of a highly revered traditional animal-based herb, supplied here as whole 18 cm specimens mounted on a bamboo stick. For centuries, Wu Gong has been prized as a wind-extinguishing, channel-opening, and spirit-settling herb, traditionally used to relieve spasms, tremors, stubborn numbness, and disorders of internal wind. Its nature is warm, pungent, and slightly toxic in TCM terms, making it a potent yet carefully handled herb for extinguishing wind, opening collaterals, and harmonizing the movement of qi and blood.

Quality & Sensory

Each specimen is carefully dried to preserve its reddish-brown head, glossy segmented body, and firm, slightly brittle texture. The bamboo stick keeps the body straight and intact during storage. When decocted, it yields a mild, faintly earthy infusion with a subtle animal aroma, and the body softens as it releases its traditional properties into the broth.
