Description
Shi Hu Dried Stems (Dendrobium officinale) are the dried stems of a highly revered traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shí Hú (石斛), specifically the three-year cultivated Tie Pi Feng Dou (铁皮枫斗) variety. For centuries, Shi Hu has been prized as a yin-nourishing, fluid-generating, and stomach-supporting herb, traditionally used to moisten dryness, clear deficiency heat, and support throat comfort. Its nature is sweet, slightly cold, and gently nourishing, making it a mild yet profoundly valued herb for tonifying the Stomach, nourishing the Kidneys, and supporting the body's fluid balance.
