Bai Zhi Slices (Angelica dahurica) — Sulfur-Free Sichuan Dried Food Herb & Natural Spice

Bai Zhi Slices (Angelica dahurica) are the dried root slices of a highly revered traditional 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 wind-dispelling, dampness-drying, and orifice-opening herb, traditionally used to relieve nasal congestion, frontal headaches, and heaviness of the head. Its nature is warm, pungent, and aromatic, making it a gently dispersing herb for unblocking the Yangming channels and refreshing the senses. This batch is sourced from Sichuan, the classic Dao-di origin, and is sulfur-free.
