Tao Ren (Semen Persicae) — Dried Peach Kernel, Sulfur-Free Food Herb for Decoction & Soup

Tao Ren (Semen Persicae) is the dried seed kernel of the peach tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Táo Rén (桃仁). For centuries, Tao Ren has been prized as a blood-quickening, stasis-dispelling herb traditionally used to support smooth circulation, ease menstrual discomfort, and moisten the intestines. Its nature is bitter, sweet, and neutral, with a gentle yet penetrating character that makes it a classic ingredient in decoctions, medicinal soups, and traditional food-therapy formulas.
