Description

Yin Yang Huo (Epimedium spp.), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Yín Yáng Huò (淫羊藿) and also called Xian Ling Pi (仙灵脾) or San Zhi Jiu Ye Cao (三枝九叶草), is the dried leaf of a highly revered traditional herb. For centuries, Yin Yang Huo has been prized as a warming, yang-supporting, and kidney-tonifying herb, traditionally used to strengthen the lower back and knees, support healthy bones, and promote vitality. Its nature is warm and its flavor is pungent and sweet, making it a gentle yet deeply nourishing herb for warming the Kidney yang and dispelling cold-dampness. This batch is sourced directly from Gansu and is offered in the traditional Zhi (炙) processed form, a honey-fried preparation that softens its character and enhances its warming, tonifying qualities.
