Chuan Bei Powder (Fritillaria cirrhosa) is the finely milled dried bulb of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Chuān Bèi (川贝). For centuries, Chuan Bei has been prized as a moistening, phlegm-transforming, and lung-soothing herb, traditionally used to ease dry coughs, throat discomfort, and heat-related dryness of the respiratory tract. Its nature is bitter, sweet, and slightly cold, making it a gentle yet focused herb for clearing heat, moistening the Lungs, and harmonizing the throat.
