Description
Mulberry Leaf (Morus alba), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Sāng Yè (桑叶), is the dried leaf of the mulberry tree, traditionally harvested after the first frost and honored as Frost Mulberry Leaf (霜桑叶). For centuries it has been prized as a cooling, wind-clearing, and lung-soothing herb, used to refresh the head, ease dryness, and support clear vision. Its nature is sweet, bitter, and slightly cold, making it a gentle yet clarifying herb for dispersing wind-heat and moistening the Lungs.
