For centuries, Mu Li has been prized as a mineral-rich shell herb used to calm the spirit, anchor floating yang, and settle restlessness. Its nature is salty, astringent, and slightly cold, making it a profound yet gentle herb for harmonizing the Liver and Kidney channels and quieting the nervous system.
