Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, Fan Xie Ye is bitter and cold, entering the Large Intestine channel. It is traditionally used to clear heat and promote bowel movement, often in short decoctions or steeped teas. It is sometimes paired with other cooling or qi-moving herbs in traditional formulas. Because of its strong bitter nature, it is typically used briefly and in small amounts rather than as a daily long-term tea.
