Pei Lan (Eupatorium fortunei) is the dried aerial part of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Pèi Lán (佩兰), also called Fragrant Eupatorium. For centuries, Pei Lan has been prized as an aromatic, damp-transforming herb used to refresh the spirit, harmonize the middle, and support the body during humid, late-summer days. Its nature is pungent, neutral, and gently aromatic, making it a light yet effective herb for awakening the Spleen, moving qi, and dispersing turbid dampness.
