Cuscuta Seeds Whole (Cuscuta Shinensis)

Cuscuta Seeds Whole (Cuscuta chinensis), known as Tu Si Zi (菟丝子) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), are tiny, aromatic seeds treasured for their tonifying, stabilizing, and restorative properties. Sourced from the parasitic vine commonly referred to as Chinese dodder, these whole seeds are carefully harvested and dried to retain their natural strength and energetic qualities.

In TCM, Cuscuta Seeds are traditionally used to tonify the kidney and liver systems, support reproductive health, and promote vision and vitality. They are commonly included in herbal formulas to help with fatigue, lower back weakness, urinary imbalance, and occasional dizziness or blurred vision. Their nature is warm, sweet, and slightly neutral, making them a versatile and gentle tonic.

When brewed or decocted, Cuscuta Seeds yield a mild, slightly nutty infusion, often used alongside herbs like goji berries, rehmannia, or eucommia bark to enhance their replenishing effects. While they are primarily used in internal formulas, they may also be ground or prepared into traditional pastes or pills.

Each batch of Cuscuta Seeds Whole (Cuscuta chinensis) is carefully selected and processed to maintain maximum purity, freshness, and potency. Whether used in traditional herbal blends, teas, or tonifying preparations, these seeds offer a time-honored natural approach to strengthening the body's foundation and promoting long-term balance and vitality.
