Description

Dried Oyster Shell, known in TCM as Mu Li (牡蛎), is the calcined shell of Ostrea gigas used as a mineral decoction piece. In TCM theory it is classified as salty and slightly cold, entering the liver and kidney channels. Traditionally associated with calming the spirit and anchoring yang, it is commonly decocted with other herbs. This 500g raw herb is for traditional preparation only and is not a medicine.

Quality & Sensory

The shells are typically off-white to greyish, hard and dense with a layered mineral texture. They have little aroma when dry. After prolonged decoction the liquid is typically bland and mineral-tasting, which is why Mu Li is usually combined with other herbs rather than taken alone.

Traditional Uses

In TCM theory Mu Li is traditionally used in decoctions to calm the spirit, anchor floating yang, and soften hardness. It is commonly paired with dragon bone (Long Gu) in classic formulas and is decocted first for a longer time because of its dense mineral nature. Traditional practice often combines it with herbs such as Bai Shao or Gui Zhi depending on the formula.
