Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, Zi Shi Ying is traditionally associated with warming the kidney and calming the spirit, and it has historically appeared in classical formulas for restlessness and palpitations. It is traditionally decocted for an extended period, often alone or alongside other herbs as directed by a practitioner. Mineral herbs of this type are always used under professional guidance rather than as a daily food.
