Liang Tou Jian (Anemone raddeana) — Dried Rhizome Pieces, 500g

Liang Tou Jian (两头尖), botanically Anemone raddeana, is the dried rhizome of a lesser-known traditional Chinese herb prized in TCM as Liǎng Tóu Jiān (两头尖). For generations it has been valued as a wind-dispelling, dampness-draining, and channel-clearing herb, traditionally used to ease joint stiffness, swelling, and sluggish movement. Its nature is pungent, hot, and slightly toxic in raw form, which is why it is typically processed and used in small, carefully measured amounts within traditional formulas.
