Huoshan Tie Pi Shi Hu Dendrobium Fengdou 70g Jar Premium Dried Stems for Tea Soup and Daily Wellness

Huoshan Tie Pi Shi Hu (铁皮石斛), Dendrobium officinale, is a prized TCM herb offered here as hand-rolled fengdou spirals of dried stems in a 70g jar. In TCM theory it is sweet and slightly cold, entering the lung, stomach, and kidney channels, and is traditionally associated with nourishing yin and generating fluids. Traditionally simmered in teas, soups, and congee; not a substitute for medicine.
