Description
Yuan Zhi (Polygala tenuifolia) is the dried root of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Yuǎn Zhì (远志).

Its nature is bitter, pungent, and slightly warm, making it a focused yet gentle herb for harmonizing the Heart and Kidney channels. This offering features sulfur-free, core-removed Yuan Zhi root sourced directly from Shanxi, naturally sun-dried and carefully processed to preserve its traditional character.
