Description
Freeze-Dried Dendrobium (Dendrobium officinale) is the freeze-dried stem of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shí Hú (石斛), specifically the Huoshan Tiepi variety also called Fēng Dǒu (枫斗). For centuries, Shi Hu has been prized as a yin-nourishing, fluid-generating, and stomach-soothing herb, used to moisten dryness, clear deficiency heat, and support the throat, eyes, and body fluids. Its nature is sweet, slightly cold, and gently nourishing, making it a mild yet profoundly restorative herb for the Lung, Stomach, and Kidney channels.
