Bai Xian Pi (Dictamnus dasycarpus) — Wild-Harvested Dried Root Bark, 500g

Bai Xian Pi (Dictamnus dasycarpus), also known as Densefruit Pittany Root-bark and called Bái Xiǎn Pí (白鲜皮) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is the dried root bark of a wild-harvested perennial herb long revered in Chinese herbal practice. For centuries it has been prized as a bitter, cold-natured herb traditionally used to clear heat, dry dampness, dispel wind, and address skin-related imbalances. Its nature is bitter and cold, entering the Spleen, Stomach, and Bladder channels, making it a focused herb for cooling and clarifying the body's damp-heat patterns.
