Ze Xie Slices (Alisma orientale) — Dried TCM Herb for Decoction & Soup, 500g

Ze Xie (Alisma orientale), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Zé Xiè (泽泻), is the dried rhizome of a classic water-regulating herb long prized in Chinese herbal practice. Also called Oriental Water Plantain, Ze Xie has been used for centuries as a diuretic and dampness-draining herb, traditionally taken to support fluid metabolism and ease heaviness in the body. Its nature is sweet and cold, making it a cooling, downward-moving herb that enters the Kidney and Bladder channels.
