Fang Feng Root (Saposhnikovia divaricata) — Unsulfured Dried Herb, Powder Option, 500g

Fang Feng Root (Saposhnikovia divaricata) is the dried root of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Fáng Fēng (防风), literally "wind guard." For centuries, Fang Feng has been prized as a wind-dispelling, exterior-releasing herb, traditionally used to address wind-cold and wind-damp patterns, headache, joint stiffness, and the early stages of seasonal imbalance. Its nature is pungent, sweet, and slightly warm, making it a gentle yet dependable herb for releasing the exterior, dispelling wind, and supporting the body's natural defenses. This batch is unsulfured and naturally sun-dried, offered as whole dried root or custom-milled powder in a 500g portion.
