Yin Chen (Artemisia capillaris) — Dried Yin Chen Herb, Shaanxi New Crop, 500g

Yin Chen (Artemisia capillaris), also known as Yin Chen Hao or capillary wormwood, is the dried aerial herb of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Yīn Chén (茵陈). For centuries, Yin Chen has been prized as a cooling, damp-clearing, and liver-soothing herb, traditionally used to support the Liver and Gallbladder, ease damp-heat conditions, and promote a sense of internal balance. Its nature is bitter, slightly cold, and gently descending, making it a classic herb for clearing dampness and supporting the smooth flow of qi. This new-crop batch is sourced from Shaanxi and sun-dried to preserve its soft, feathery texture and fresh herbal aroma.
