Yin Chen Tender Buds (Artemisia capillaris) — Sulfur-Free March Tips for Tea & Tincture

Yin Chen Tender Buds (Artemisia capillaris) are the young, early-spring shoot tips of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Yīn Chén (茵陈). Also called capillary wormwood, Yin Chen has been prized for centuries as a gentle, damp-clearing herb used in spring teas, decoctions, and seasonal tonics. Its nature is bitter, slightly cold, and lightly aromatic, making it a mild yet refreshing herb for clearing dampness and supporting the Liver and Gallbladder.
