Xian Mao Slices (Curculigo orchioides) — Dried TCM Herb, 500g

Xian Mao Slices (Curculigo orchioides) are the dried rhizome pieces of a traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Xiān Máo (仙茅), also called Curculigo Rhizome or Golden Eye-Grass. For centuries, Xian Mao has been prized as a warming, yang-tonifying herb used to support the Kidney, strengthen the waist and knees, and dispel cold-dampness. Its nature is pungent, hot, and slightly toxic in raw form, which is why it is traditionally processed before use, making it a potent yet carefully handled herb for warming the body and supporting vitality.
