Description

Bai Qian (Cynanchum stauntonii) is the dried root and rhizome of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bái Qián (白前). For centuries, Bai Qian has been prized as a qi-directing, phlegm-transforming herb, traditionally used to ease cough, calm wheezing, and descend rebellious Lung qi. Its nature is acrid, bitter, and slightly warm, making it a focused yet gentle herb for soothing the Lung and restoring smooth breath.
