Description

Gua Lou Peel (Trichosanthes kirilowii) is the dried fruit peel of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Guā Lóu Pí (瓜蒌皮). For centuries, Gua Lou has been prized as a phlegm-transforming, chest-opening, and qi-smoothing herb, traditionally used to ease a stifling sensation in the chest, support clear breathing, and soothe the upper body. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and slightly cold, making it a gentle yet effective herb for transforming phlegm and relaxing the chest.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully dried to preserve its pale golden-brown color, light papery texture, and mild, faintly sweet botanical aroma. When decocted, the peel softens and yields a gentle, slightly sweet and subtly bitter infusion with a smooth, mellow body that blends well with other herbs.
