Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Dai Dai Hua is brewed as a fragrant daily tea to soothe the Liver, move qi, and ease occasional bloating or low mood. It is often paired with rose bud, chrysanthemum, or tangerine peel in springtime tea blends, and is also added to light decoctions and congee for its gentle aromatic character. As a food herb, it has long been used in everyday wellness routines rather than as a strong medicinal decoction.
