Description

Wa Leng Zi (Concha Arcae), also known as Arcae Concha or clam shell, is the dried shell of the blood clam (Scapharca subcrenata) and related species, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Wǎ Léng Zǐ (瓦楞子). For centuries, this mineral-based herb has been prized as a phlegm-transforming, mass-softening, and stomach-acid-neutralizing agent, traditionally used to ease abdominal distension, dissolve phlegm accumulation, and support digestive comfort. Its nature is salty and neutral, making it a gentle yet effective mineral herb for harmonizing the Stomach and transforming phlegm.
