Hong Teng Sargentodoxa Cuneata Sliced Dried Herb Traditional Decoction Herb 500g

Hong Teng (红藤), also called Da Xue Teng (大血藤), is the dried stem of Sargentodoxa cuneata, traditionally known in TCM as Sargentgloryvine. These naturally sun-dried slices are sulfur-fumigation-free and can be ground to powder on request. In TCM theory, Hong Teng is bitter in flavor and associated with the large intestine and liver channels. Traditionally used in decoctions and herbal formulas, it is a raw culinary and decoction herb, not a substitute for medicine.
