Description
Freeze-Dried Shi Hu (Dendrobium officinale) is the freeze-dried stem of a highly revered traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shí Hú (石斛), specifically the Tiepi (铁皮) variety from Huoshan (霍山). For centuries, Tiepi Shihu has been prized as a yin-nourishing, fluid-generating, and stomach-soothing herb, traditionally used to moisten dryness, support throat comfort, and replenish body fluids. Its nature is sweet, slightly cold, and gently nourishing, making it a mild yet treasured herb for the Stomach, Kidney, and Lung channels. This FD freeze-dried format preserves the fresh stem's character in a convenient ready-to-eat form.
