Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Huang Jing Zi is decocted alone or with other herbs to make a warming daily tea, often taken during damp or windy seasons. It is also simmered into soups and congee as a food-herb ingredient, and paired with ingredients like ginger, jujube, and perilla. In many southern Chinese households, the dried fruits are sewn into pillows and sachets for their mild, dry aroma and traditional association with restful sleep.
