These slices come from wild northern material with main-root pieces, dried for herbal use. In TCM theory Fang Feng is pungent and sweet in flavor and slightly warm in nature, traditionally associated with dispersing wind and supporting the body's surface. Commonly simmered in decoctions, soups, or herbal formulas. This is a food-grade raw herb, not a health supplement.
