Chrysanthemum & Cassia Seed Herbal Paste (Jú Huā Jué Míng Zǐ Gāo) — 300g Honey Paste

Chrysanthemum & Cassia Seed Herbal Paste (菊花决明子膏) is a traditional Chinese herbal paste (膏方) made from a food-herb (药食同源) blend of chrysanthemum flower (Chrysanthemum morifolium), cassia seed (Senna obtusifolia or Cassia tora), goji berry (Lycium barbarum), mulberry (Morus alba), burdock root (Arctium lappa), kudzu root (Pueraria montana), maltose, and honey. Slowly熬制 (simmered and concentrated) into a smooth, spoonable paste, it carries the gentle, cooling nature of chrysanthemum and the mild, slightly bitter character of cassia seed, traditionally used in TCM food therapy to clear Liver heat, soothe the eyes, and support smooth daily wellness.
