Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese folk practice, Wu Huan Zi fruit peels have long been associated with natural cleansing because the husk naturally foams in water. Traditionally, the peels were soaked or simmered to release saponins for washing hands, clothes, and hair. They were also kept in households as a practical washing herb and are sometimes referenced in folk records as a cleansing agent rather than an internal remedy.
