Exocarpium Citri Grandis (Juhong) Slices — Freeze-Dried Tangerine Peel for Herbal Tea, 125g Jar

Juhong Slices (Exocarpium Citri Grandis), also known as Ji Hong or Hua Ju Hong, are the freeze-dried peel slices of the immature or young fruit of Citrus grandis, a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Jú Hóng (橘红). For centuries, Juhong has been prized as a qi-regulating, phlegm-transforming, and throat-soothing herb, traditionally used to ease coughs, clear chest congestion, and support comfortable breathing. Its nature is warm, pungent, and slightly bitter, making it a gently warming herb for moving qi, drying dampness, and harmonizing the Lung and Spleen channels.
