Kuan Jin Teng Powder (Tinospora sinensis) — Dried Food Herb for Tendon-Soothing Tea & Soup

Kuan Jin Teng Powder (Tinospora sinensis) is the finely milled form of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Kuān Jīn Téng (宽筋藤). Also called Song Gen Teng (松根藤), Shu Jin Teng (舒筋藤), and Da Jie Jin Teng (大接筋藤), this stem has been prized for centuries as a tendon-relaxing, channel-freeing herb used to ease stiffness, support smooth movement, and harmonize the sinews. Its nature is slightly bitter and cool, making it a gentle yet effective herb for soothing the Liver, relaxing tendons, and promoting the free flow of qi and blood.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sun-dried and milled to preserve its pale tan color, fine smooth texture, and mild earthy aroma. When brewed or simmered, the powder disperses easily and yields a gentle, slightly bitter infusion with a subtle woody note, adding body to broths and teas without overpowering other ingredients.
