Dragon Tooth Lily Bulb (Lilium brownii) — Dried Sulfur-Free Bai He for Tea, Soup & Congee

Dragon Tooth Lily Bulb (Lilium brownii) is the dried, sun-dried scale of a highly revered food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bǎi Hé (百合). For centuries, Bai He has been prized as a yin-nourishing, spirit-calming, and dryness-moistening herb, used to ease restlessness, support quiet sleep, and soothe a dry throat and dry cough. Its nature is sweet and slightly cold, making it gentle yet profoundly nourishing for the Heart and Lung, where it moistens dryness and settles the spirit.
