Deer Antler Slices Lu Rong 鹿茸 Northeast China Gift Box White and Red Powder Slices for Cooking and Tonic Soups

Deer Antler Slices, known in TCM as Lu Rong (鹿茸), are dried slices of deer antler from Cervus nippon, a classic animal-derived tonic in Chinese herbal tradition. This gift box combines white powder slices and red powder slices in four assortments, hand-selected and de-haired. In TCM theory, Lu Rong is warm in nature and sweet and salty in flavor, traditionally associated with the Kidney and Liver channels. Traditionally prepared by simmering in soups, decoctions, or soaked wines, it is intended for adults, and is not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
