Description
Xiang Fu (Cyperus rotundus), also known as Cyperus Rhizome or Nutgrass Rhizome, is the dried rhizome of a classic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herb known as Xiāng Fù (香附). For centuries it has been prized as a qi-regulating, Liver-soothing, and emotion-harmonizing herb, traditionally used to ease chest and rib-side distension, support smooth menstrual flow, and calm the spirit when qi stagnates. Its nature is acrid, slightly bitter, and neutral, making it a gentle yet effective herb for moving qi, relieving stagnation, and harmonizing the middle burner.
