Shi Jue Ming (Haliotis Shell / Abalone Shell) — Dried Mineral Herb, 500g

Shi Jue Ming (石决明), also known as Abalone Shell or Haliotis Shell, is the dried shell of the abalone (Haliotis spp.), a mineral-based herb highly revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). For centuries, Shi Jue Ming has been prized as a calming, yang-anchoring, and wind-extinguishing mineral herb, traditionally used to settle the spirit, ease dizziness, and clear the eyes. Its nature is salty and cold, making it a cooling, descending herb that gently pacifies the Liver and harmonizes the upper body.
