Taizishen Prince Ginseng Root Strips Dried Pseudostellaria Heterophylla 100g for Herbal Tea and Soup

Prince Ginseng, known in TCM as Taizishen (太子参), is the dried root of Pseudostellaria heterophylla. These plump, well-sorted root strips are sun-dried and hand-cleaned, with no added ingredients. In TCM theory, Taizishen is sweet and slightly bitter in flavor and slightly cold in nature, traditionally associated with the spleen and lung channels. Traditionally valued as a gentle tonic herb, it is commonly simmered in soups, decoctions, or teas. This is a food-grade agricultural product and is not a substitute for medicine.

It is also simmered with lean meat or added to congee for a mild, nourishing dish.
