Wild Purslane Powder Ma Chi Xian 马齿苋 Fine Milled Herb Powder for Tea and Topical Masks 500g

Wild Purslane Powder, known in TCM as Ma Chi Xian (马齿苋), is milled from dried Portulaca oleracea aerial parts. This finely ground whole-herb powder preserves the natural character of the plant. In TCM theory, purslane is considered cold in nature with a sour flavor and is traditionally associated with clearing heat. It can be stirred into drinks, blended into foods, or mixed with water for external face masks. This is a food-grade agricultural product and is not intended to replace medicine.
