Black Nightshade Herb Whole (Solanum Nigrum)

Black Nightshade Herb Whole (Solanum nigrum), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Long Kui (龙葵), is a cooling, bitter, and detoxifying herb traditionally used to clear heat, reduce inflammation, resolve toxicity, and support the urinary and liver systems. This whole-herb form includes the leaves, stems, and sometimes flowers, carefully harvested and dried to preserve its natural potency and herbal balance.

In TCM, Long Kui is commonly used to cool the blood, soothe swelling, and alleviate pain, especially in conditions involving heat toxins, such as skin eruptions, sore throat, abscesses, or urinary discomfort. It is also known to support liver health and may be used to promote healthy bowel and bladder function.

When decocted, Black Nightshade Herb Whole yields a dark, bitter infusion and is often combined with other detoxifying herbs like Pu Gong Ying (Dandelion), Bai Hua She She Cao (Oldenlandia), or Jin Yin Hua (Honeysuckle) to enhance its heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory effects.

Each batch of Black Nightshade Herb Whole (Solanum nigrum) is carefully selected, dried, and preserved to ensure quality, purity, and traditional efficacy. Due to the plant’s natural potency, it should be used with care and proper guidance. When included in cleansing teas, topical washes, or internal detox formulas, Long Kui offers a time-honored method for addressing internal heat, inflammation, and toxicity while supporting the body’s natural balance.
