Nine-Steam Nine-Sun Rehmannia Balls (Rehmannia glutinosa) — Jiaozuo Prepared Shu Di Huang, 250g

Nine-Steam Nine-Sun Rehmannia Balls (Rehmannia glutinosa) are the prepared root of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shú Dì Huáng (熟地黄). Also called Prepared Rehmannia or Chinese Foxglove Root, Shu Di Huang has been prized for centuries as a yin-nourishing, blood-enriching, and essence-replenishing herb, traditionally used to support the Kidneys, nourish the Liver, and build vital essence. Its nature is sweet and slightly warm, making it a deeply nourishing yet gentle herb for long-term tonic use. This ready-to-eat form is shaped into convenient balls, crafted in Jiaozuo, Henan, the historic heartland of Shu Di Huang production.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Shu Di Huang is a cornerstone of blood- and yin-nourishing formulas, decocted into soups, congee, and longevity tonics. It is traditionally paired with ingredients like goji berry, Chinese yam, angelica, and jujube in classic medicinal food recipes. In daily use, the ready-to-eat balls are chewed directly, steeped in warm water, or added to slow-cooked broths to support nourishment through the cooler seasons. The nine-steam nine-sun method is a time-honored craft believed to soften the herb's nature and enhance its nourishing character.
