Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, Tie Pi Shi Hu has long been valued as a yin-nourishing herb, traditionally associated with supporting fluid generation and stomach comfort. It is commonly simmered alone as a decoction, added to chicken or pork soups, cooked into congee, or chewed directly. In TCM theory it is considered sweet in flavor and slightly cold in nature, entering the stomach and kidney channels, and is often enjoyed in autumn and winter tonics.
