Flemingia Root Slice (Flemingia Philippinensis)

Flemingia Root Slice (Flemingia philippinensis) is a warming, sweet-bitter herb traditionally used in Chinese and Southeast Asian herbal medicine to strengthen the lower back and knees, dispel wind-dampness, and support bone and joint health. These sliced root segments are carefully prepared to preserve their fibrous structure and warming qualities, making them suitable for use in decoctions and tonic formulas.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this herb is known by the name Ye Zhi Ma (野芝麻) and is often used in formulas to nourish the liver and kidneys, which are considered the source of strong bones and flexible joints. It is commonly prescribed for symptoms such as lower back soreness, joint weakness, or stiffness due to wind-damp obstruction, particularly in older individuals or those with chronic musculoskeletal concerns.

Flemingia root is also used in folk medicine for supporting bone density and enhancing recovery from injury or wear, thanks to its gentle tonifying and circulation-enhancing properties.

When decocted, Flemingia Root Slice produces a light brown infusion with an earthy, slightly sweet flavor. It is frequently combined with herbs like Du Zhong (Eucommia), Xu Duan (Dipsacus), or Sang Ji Sheng (Taxillus) in formulas to support the lower body and musculoskeletal system.

Each batch of Flemingia Root Slice (Flemingia philippinensis) is carefully sliced and dried to maintain herbal purity and potency. Whether used in strengthening tonics, joint-support blends, or traditional decoctions, this herb offers a mild yet effective approach to nourishing the body and easing stiffness associated with aging or chronic strain.
