Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Jue Ming Zi is decocted or steeped as a daily tea to clear the Liver, cool internal heat, and support eye comfort after long hours of reading or screen work. It is commonly blended with chrysanthemum, goji berry, and honeysuckle in summer infusions, simmered into congee for gentle morning nourishment, or added to soup packs as a mild, clarifying ingredient. Roasted seeds are favored for tea because the toasting softens the raw bitterness and lends a warm, nutty character.
