Chuan Mu Tong Slices (Clematis armandii) — Dried Sichuan Clematis Stem for Herbal Decoction

Chuan Mu Tong Slices (Clematis armandii) are the dried stem slices of a traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Chuān Mù Tōng (川木通), also referred to in folk practice as Sān Yè Mù Tōng (三叶木通) or Huái Mù Tōng (淮木通). Native to Sichuan, this stem has been prized for centuries as a diuretic and channel-clearing herb, traditionally used to promote fluid movement, ease urinary flow, and support the smooth circulation of qi and blood. Its nature is bland and slightly cold, making it a gentle yet effective herb for clearing damp-heat and unblocking the meridians.
