Description

Gou Teng (钩藤), also called Shuang Gou Teng, is the dried hooked stem and thorn of Uncaria rhynchophylla, a classic vine used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In TCM theory it is considered sweet in flavor and slightly cold in nature, traditionally associated with the Liver and Pericardium channels. These dried hook segments are typically used in herbal decoctions and formulas. Store in a cool dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Traditional Uses

In TCM practice, Gou Teng is traditionally used to calm the Liver, extinguish wind, and clear heat, and it appears in classical formulas such as Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin. It is commonly decocted with herbs like Tian Ma (Gastrodia) and Ju Hua (Chrysanthemum). Because its active constituents are considered heat-sensitive, it is traditionally added in the final minutes of decoction rather than simmered for a long time.
