Ze Lan Herb (Lycopus lucidus) — Dried Chinese Herb for Decoction & Tea

Ze Lan (Lycopus lucidus), also known as Bugleweed or Shiny Bugleweed, is the dried aerial part of a traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Zé Lán (泽兰). For centuries, Ze Lan has been prized as a blood-quickening, stasis-dispelling, and water-regulating herb, traditionally used to support healthy circulation, ease menstrual discomfort, and promote the smooth movement of fluids. Its nature is bitter, pungent, and slightly warm, making it a gently activating herb that enters the Liver and Spleen channels.
