Description

Dried Chinese Flowering Quince fruit, known in TCM as Mu Gua (木瓜), from Chaenomeles speciosa. These dried fruit halves are a classic raw botanical traditionally associated with relaxing the sinews, resolving dampness, and harmonizing the stomach. In TCM theory Mu Gua is warm in nature with sour flavor, entering the spleen and stomach channels. Suitable for decoction, soup, and culinary preparations; not a substitute for medicine.
