Description

Zhu Ya Zao (Gleditsia sinensis) is the dried, abnormally developed small fruit of the Chinese Honeylocust tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Zhū Yá Zào (猪牙皂). For centuries it has been prized as a potent, phlegm-transforming and orifice-opening herb, traditionally used to address sudden collapse, phlegm obstruction, and stubborn accumulations. Its nature is pungent, warm, and slightly toxic, with a small but powerful action that makes it a classic ingredient in traditional herbal formulas rather than a casual daily tea.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully dried to preserve its dark reddish-brown to nearly black color, hard and slightly curved pod shape, and faint resinous aroma. The surface is smooth with a subtle sheen, and the interior is tough and fibrous. When decocted, it releases a pungent, slightly acrid scent and a sharp, bitter taste that is traditionally tempered by pairing with other herbs in a formula.
