Qing Feng Teng (Sinomenium acutum) — Dried Food-Herb Vine, 500g Bulk Loose Herb

Qing Feng Teng (Sinomenium acutum), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Qīng Fēng Téng (青风藤) and also called Orientvine Stem, is the dried stem and vine of a traditional food-herb botanical. For centuries it has been prized as a wind-dispelling, dampness-clearing, and channel-freeing herb, traditionally used to ease joint stiffness, support smooth movement of the limbs, and relax tendons and sinews. Its nature is bitter, acrid, and neutral, making it a steady yet penetrating herb for unblocking the meridians and harmonizing the flow of qi and blood.
