Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Rou Gui is decocted into soups, congee, and warming tonics to support the body during cold seasons. It is a common ingredient in winter soup packs, where it pairs with ingredients like ginger, jujube, and goji berry. As a tea, it is brewed alone or blended with black tea and honey for a deep, warming infusion. In TCM, Rou Gui enters the Kidney, Spleen, Heart, and Liver channels, where it is traditionally used to warm the interior, dispel cold, and support yang energy.
