Xiang Fu Powder (Cyperus rotundus) — Dried Rhizome Botanical Powder, 500g

Xiang Fu Powder (Cyperus rotundus) is the finely milled, naturally sun-dried rhizome of a traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Xiāng Fù (香附), also called Cyperus Rhizome or Nutgrass Rhizome. Long honored as a qi-regulating and Liver-soothing herb, Xiang Fu has been prized in classical formulas for easing stagnation, smoothing the flow of qi, and harmonizing the middle. Its nature is acrid, slightly bitter, and neutral, making it a balanced herb traditionally used to move qi, release constraint, and support the free flow of Liver qi.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Xiang Fu is decocted in classical formulas to regulate qi, soothe the Liver, and ease constraint, often paired with herbs like Chai Hu, Bai Shao, and Chen Pi. It appears in traditional soups and decoctions prepared under the guidance of a TCM practitioner, and in external preparations such as foot soaks and compresses. As a powdered herb, it is traditionally used in practitioner-formulated blends rather than as a casual daily tea.
