Du Huo Slices (Angelica pubescens) — Dried Food Herb for Soup & Tea

Du Huo Slices (Angelica pubescens) are the dried root slices of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Dú Huó (独活).

Its nature is warm, acrid, and slightly bitter, making it a gentle yet effective herb for warming the channels and supporting healthy circulation.
