Shi Jue Ming Powder (Haliotis Shell / Abalone Shell) — Dried Mineral Herb, 500g

Shi Jue Ming Powder (石决明粉) is the finely ground, dried shell of the abalone and related Haliotis species, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shí Jué Míng (石决明) and traditionally honored as a calming, Liver-soothing mineral herb. Also called Nine-Hole Abalone Shell (九孔螺) or Bao Yu Ke (鲍鱼壳), it has been prized for centuries as a heavy, descending herb used to pacify Liver yang, settle internal wind, and clear the eyes. Its nature is salty and cool, making it a gentle yet grounding mineral substance for anchoring rising yang and harmonizing the head and eyes.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is naturally sun-dried and finely milled to preserve its pale grey-white color, smooth powdery texture, and faint mineral, sea-shell aroma. When decocted, it settles to the bottom of the pot and yields a mild, subtly salty infusion that blends quietly with other herbs, adding body and grounding weight to a formula without overpowering its flavor.
