Description
Sea Buckthorn Berries (Hippophae rhamnoides) are the dried, sun-golden fruit of a revered food-herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shā Jí (沙棘). For centuries, Sha Ji has been prized as a sour, warming, and vitality-giving fruit, used to awaken the appetite, support digestion, and nourish the body through the long cold months. Its nature is sour, astringent, and warm, making it a bright yet grounding fruit for harmonizing the Spleen and Stomach while gently supporting the Lung and Heart.
