Description

Gan Huang Cao Stems (Penthorum chinense) are the dried aerial stems of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Gǎn Huáng Cǎo (赶黄草), also called Chě Gēn Cài (扯根菜). Long valued in folk herbal practice as a damp-clearing, liver-soothing herb, Gan Huang Cao has been prized in regional wellness traditions for supporting the Liver and Gallbladder, easing damp-heat, and promoting gentle internal balance. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and neutral-to-cool, making it a mild yet purposeful herb for daily decoctions and herbal teas.
