Mirabilite (Natrium Sulfuricum) is a naturally occurring mineral substance known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Máng Xiāo (芒硝). For centuries, Mang Xiao has been prized as a purging, heat-clearing, and softening mineral herb, traditionally used to relieve constipation, clear accumulated heat, and reduce swelling. Its nature is bitter, salty, and cold, making it a potent yet focused mineral for clearing excess heat and restoring downward flow.
