Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a yin-nourishing, dryness-moistening herbal preparation, this paste has been prized for centuries as a gentle daily tonic used to support fluid balance, soothe the throat, and nourish the Lung and Stomach systems.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Mai Dong Yu Zhu Gao is prepared as a slow-simmered paste to concentrate the gentle, yin-nourishing properties of its ingredients. Mai Dong and Yu Zhu are classic TCM herbs associated with moistening the Lung and Stomach, while lily bulb, goji berry, jujube, mulberry, and hawthorn add complementary nourishing and harmonizing qualities. Traditionally, this type of paste is taken in small daily portions — often in autumn and winter — as a seasonal tonic to support hydration, soothe dryness, and promote a sense of calm. It is also a common household remedy-style preparation for those who prefer a sweet, easy-to-take herbal format over decoctions.
