She Tui (蛇蜕), also known as Long Yi (龙衣) or Snake Slough, is the dried shed skin of snakes, a distinctive traditional Chinese herb used in TCM for centuries. Known in classical texts as a wind-extinguishing and spirit-calming substance, She Tui has been prized for its ability to disperse internal wind, relieve spasms, and clear the channels. Its nature is sweet, salty, and neutral, entering the Liver channel, where it works to calm wind and settle tremors. This listing offers 500g of whole dried snake slough, available as-is or custom-ground into powder upon request.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch of She Tui is carefully collected and dried to preserve its characteristic translucent, pale yellowish to amber appearance with a subtle scaly texture. The dried skin is lightweight, thin, and slightly brittle, with a faint, neutral odor. When decocted, it softens and yields a mild, slightly salty infusion that blends smoothly with other herbs in traditional formulas.
