Description
Lu Lu Tong (Liquidambar formosana) is the dried mature infructescence of the sweetgum tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lù Lù Tōng (路路通). Also called Feng Shu Qiu (枫树球), Jiu Kong Zi (九孔子), or Feng Xiang Guo (枫香果), it has long been prized as a wind-dispelling, dampness-draining, and channel-freeing herb traditionally used to support smooth flow of qi and blood, ease joint discomfort, and promote unobstructed movement throughout the body. Its nature is bitter and neutral, making it a steady, gently moving herb in traditional formulas.
