San Fu Tie Powder 500g Ultra-Low Temperature Milled Herbal Powder for Traditional Acupoint Paste Use

San Fu Tie Powder (三伏贴粉) is a fine herbal powder traditionally used to prepare San Fu acupoint pastes applied to selected points during the hottest days of summer. The main ingredient is Huang Bai (黄柏), the dried bark of Phellodendron chinense. In TCM theory Huang Bai is bitter and cold and is traditionally associated with clearing damp-heat. This powder is milled at ultra-low temperature to help preserve the herb's natural character.
