Du Zhong Slices (Eucommia ulmoides) — Peeled Sichuan Bark for Herbal Tea & Soup

Du Zhong Slices (Eucommia ulmoides) are the dried, peeled bark of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Dù Zhōng (杜仲). For centuries, Du Zhong has been prized as a tonifying, yang-supporting, and kidney-strengthening herb, traditionally used to nourish the Liver and Kidneys, fortify the tendons and bones, and support healthy lower-back and joint comfort. Its nature is sweet and slightly warm, making it a gentle yet deeply nourishing herb for long-term daily wellness. This batch is sourced from Sichuan and carefully peeled to remove the rough outer bark, leaving clean, thick slices suited for decoction, tea, and soup.

It is a classic ingredient in Chinese tonic soup packs, where it pairs with ingredients like goji berry, Chinese yam, and jujube. As a tea, it is brewed alone or blended with other gentle tonic herbs for a warm, subtly sweet infusion enjoyed during cooler seasons.
