Description

Dried Sophora Flower (Sophora japonica) is the dried blossom of the pagoda tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Huái Huā (槐花) and also called Chinese Scholar Tree Flower. For centuries, Huai Hua has been prized as a cooling, blood-cooling, and liver-clearing flower herb, traditionally used to relieve heat-related head discomfort and support healthy circulation. Its nature is slightly cold and its flavor is bitter, making it a gentle yet clarifying herb for soothing internal heat and harmonizing the Liver and Large Intestine channels.
