Hong Teng Slices (Sargentodoxa cuneata) — Dried Bloodvine Stem for Herbal Decoction

Hong Teng Slices (Sargentodoxa cuneata) are the dried stem slices of a traditional Chinese herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Hóng Téng (红藤), also called Dà Xuè Téng (大血藤) or Bloodvine. For centuries, Hong Teng has been prized as a blood-quickening, stasis-dispelling, and wind-damp-clearing herb, traditionally used to support smooth circulation, ease joint discomfort, and address accumulations of stagnant blood. Its nature is bitter and slightly cold, making it a focused yet balanced herb for clearing heat, invigorating blood, and unblocking the channels.
