Quan Xie (Scorpion) Dried Whole Scorpion — Traditional Chinese Herb, 500g

Quan Xie (Scorpion, Buthus martensii) is the dried whole body of a traditional animal-based herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Quán Xiē (全蝎), also called Quán Chóng (全虫). For centuries, Quan Xie has been prized as a wind-extinguishing, collateral-unblocking, and spasm-relieving herb, traditionally used in formulas addressing internal wind, tremors, and stubborn numbness. Its nature is pungent, neutral, and slightly toxic in TCM terms, making it a potent yet carefully dosed herb for calming wind and unblocking collaterals.

Quality & Sensory

The dried bodies carry a mild, characteristic animal aroma. When decocted in traditional formulas, they contribute a subtle savory note to the broth, blending with other herbs rather than dominating the taste.
