Gu Jing Zhu (Eriocaulon Flower Bud) — Dried Food Herb, 500g Bulk Herbal Supply

Gu Jing Zhu (Eriocaulon buergerianum) is the dried flower head of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Gǔ Jīng Zhū (谷精珠), closely related to the well-known Gu Jing Cao (谷精草). For centuries, Gu Jing Zhu has been prized as a gentle, Liver-and-Lung-clearing herb, traditionally used to disperse wind-heat, brighten the eyes, and ease head-related discomfort. Its nature is sweet, neutral, and mildly dispersing, making it a soft yet focused herb for supporting clear vision and comfortable head and eye wellness.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Gu Jing Zhu is decocted alone or combined with herbs such as chrysanthemum, cassia seed, and mulberry leaf to make gentle daily teas traditionally associated with brightening the eyes and easing head discomfort. It also appears in seasonal spring and summer decoctions, where it is simmered with light, dispersing herbs to support a refreshed, clear-headed feeling. In some regional traditions, it is added to congee or light soups as a mild food-herb ingredient for everyday wellness.
