Sheng Bai Zhu Slices (Atractylodes macrocephala) are the dried rhizome slices of a highly revered traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bái Zhú (白术). For centuries, Bai Zhu has been prized as a qi-tonifying, spleen-strengthening, and dampness-drying herb, traditionally used to support digestive wellness, steady energy, and the smooth transformation of fluids. Its nature is warm, sweet, and slightly bitter, making it a foundational herb for building vitality while gently resolving heaviness and stagnation. This raw, sun-dried selection is sourced from Zhejiang, a classic Dao-di producing region.
