Dried Deer Sinew, known in TCM as Lu Jin (鹿筋), from Cervus nippon or Cervus elaphus, is the cleaned tendon and sinew of deer. In TCM theory it is considered sweet and warm, entering the Liver and Kidney channels, and is traditionally used to support the tendons and bones. This whole-root dried form is suited for long-simmered soups and decoctions. It is a food product and not a medicine.
