Description

Tie Pi Shi Hu (铁皮石斛), known as Dendrobium Fengdou, is the dried spiral stem of Dendrobium officinale, a prized herb in traditional Chinese practice. In TCM theory it is sweet in flavor and slightly cold in nature, traditionally associated with nourishing yin and supporting fluid balance. These dried stems are typically simmered in decoctions, steeped in tea, or added to soups and congee. This is a food-grade agricultural product and is not intended to replace medicine.

Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, dendrobium has long been simmered alone or with herbs such as Ophiopogon and Glehnia in slow decoctions, or added to nourishing soups and congee. It was traditionally favored during dry seasons and by those seeking gentle daily tonics. The stems may also be chewed directly after brief rinsing, a folk method for enjoying their gelatinous texture.
