Description

Wa Leng Zi (瓦楞子), botanically known as Concha Arcae — the shell of the blood clam (Scapharca subcrenata) or closely related Arcidae species — is a traditional mineral-shell decoction piece used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Also written as 煅瓦楞子 (calcined Wa Leng Zi) when it has been heated to a friable state, this shell has long been prized as a softening, transforming, and stomach-harmonizing substance used to ease distension, support digestion, and address accumulations of phlegm and stagnant qi. Its nature is sweet, salty, and neutral, making it a gentle yet focused shell herb for regulating the middle burner and soothing the Stomach.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully cleaned and dried to preserve its characteristic pale grey to ivory shell color, layered texture, and firm, chalky surface. The calcined form is lighter, more porous, and friable, breaking easily into small pieces. When decocted, it yields a mild, slightly salty mineral infusion with a clean, neutral aroma, and it can be ground into a fine, smooth powder for teas or culinary use.
