China Root Rhizome (Smilax glabra), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Tu Fu Ling (土茯苓), is a mild, sweet, and neutral herb traditionally used to eliminate dampness, detoxify the body, and relieve joint discomfort caused by wind-damp conditions. Sourced from the thick, tuberous rhizome of the Smilax glabra plant, this herb is commonly used in detoxifying and dampness-resolving formulas, especially those addressing skin, joints, and lymphatic health.
In TCM, Tu Fu Ling is valued for its ability to clear damp-heat from the muscles and skin, often used to relieve aching joints, swollen glands, eczema, and other skin eruptions associated with internal heat or toxicity. It is also thought to support healthy urination and reduce mild swelling, promoting the elimination of waste and fluids from the body.
When decocted, China Root Rhizome yields a light, mild-flavored infusion that blends easily with herbs such as Jin Yin Hua (Honeysuckle), Bai Xian Pi (Dictamnus), or Yi Yi Ren (Job’s Tears) in formulas targeting skin conditions, inflammation, and damp obstruction.
Each batch of China Root Rhizome (Smilax glabra) is carefully cleaned, sliced, and dried to preserve its natural starch content, smooth texture, and therapeutic effectiveness. Whether used in herbal teas, detoxifying decoctions, or long-term cleansing formulas, Tu Fu Ling offers a gentle yet effective way to clear dampness, support skin health, and promote systemic detoxification and balance.
