Cassia Seed (Semen Cassiae) — Roasted Jue Ming Zi Food Herb for Tea & Pillow Filling

Cassia Seed (Semen Cassiae) is the dried, naturally sun-dried mature seed of a highly revered traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Jué Míng Zǐ (决明子). For centuries, Jue Ming Zi has been prized as a Liver-clearing, eye-brightening, and intestine-moistening herb, traditionally used to ease eye redness, support clear vision, and promote gentle bowel movement. Its nature is sweet, bitter, and slightly cold, making it a cooling yet gentle herb for soothing the Liver, clearing heat, and harmonizing the body's internal balance.
