Description

Chinese Parasol Tree Seeds, known in TCM as Wutong Zi (梧桐子), are the dried mature seeds of Firmiana simplex, the Chinese parasol tree. These whole, unprocessed seeds are a lesser-known traditional botanical kept in classical Chinese herbal repertoires. In TCM theory they are considered neutral in nature and are traditionally associated with supporting the spleen and stomach. Supplied as a raw culinary-grade botanical for decoction or external herbal preparations, to be used under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.
