Sang Zhi Zi (Morus alba) — Dried Mulberry Twig Pieces, Food Herb for Tea & Soup

Sang Zhi Zi (Morus alba), also written as Sang Zhi or Mulberry Twig, is the dried young twig of the mulberry tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Sāng Zhī (桑枝). For centuries it has been prized as a gentle, wind-dispelling and channel-clearing herb, traditionally used to ease joint stiffness, soothe aching limbs, and support smooth movement of qi and blood. Its nature is slightly bitter and neutral, making it a mild yet steady herb for warming the channels and relaxing the tendons.
