Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese herbal practice, Lei Gong Teng has long been recorded as a strongly acting root used mainly under professional guidance, historically prepared through careful decoction or external application. It was traditionally paired with other herbs in practitioner-designed formulas rather than used casually. Because of its potent traditional reputation, folk practice reserved it for experienced herbalists, and it was not treated as an everyday food or tea herb.
