Description

Niao Bu Su (鸟不宿), botanically identified as Ilex cornuta — also known as Bitter Holly, Chinese Holly, and by its folk names Ci Gen Bai Pi (刺根白皮) and Qian Chuan Shu (钱串树) — is the dried root bark of a revered traditional Chinese herb. For generations, Niao Bu Su has been prized in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a wind-dispelling, dampness-draining, and channel-clearing herb, traditionally used to relieve joint aching, support smooth movement of the limbs, and ease discomfort associated with wind-damp obstruction. Its nature is bitter, acrid, and slightly cold, giving it a focused, downward-moving character that clears stagnation and restores free flow through the meridians.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sun-dried to preserve its pale greyish-brown outer bark, fibrous inner texture, and faint woody aroma.

The pieces are firm, dry, and clean, with no musty odor or excess powder.
