Barbed Skullcap Herb Powder (Scutellaria Barbata)

Barbed Skullcap Herb Powder (Scutellaria barbata), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Ban Zhi Lian (半枝莲), is a fine, green herbal powder valued for its ability to clear heat, eliminate toxins, invigorate the blood, and support immune function. This powdered form offers a convenient and concentrated way to incorporate the therapeutic properties of Scutellaria barbata into teas, capsules, or custom formulas.

In TCM, Ban Zhi Lian is traditionally used to cool internal heat, support the body’s natural detoxification processes, and promote healthy circulation and tissue balance. It is often used in herbal blends for addressing heat-related conditions, including swelling, stagnation, and inflammation, particularly involving the liver, lungs, and urinary system.

Barbed Skullcap Herb Powder has a slightly bitter, grassy flavor and is typically mixed into warm water, herbal teas, tinctures, or encapsulated for ease of use. It pairs well with complementary herbs like Oldenlandia (Hedyotis diffusa), Dandelion (Pu Gong Ying), and Red Peony Root (Chi Shao) in detoxifying and immune-supportive formulas.

Each batch of Barbed Skullcap Herb Powder (Scutellaria barbata) is carefully dried and finely milled to retain its natural phytochemicals and herbal potency. Whether used in traditional applications, modern wellness routines, or as part of targeted herbal support, this powder provides a versatile and effective way to promote detoxification, clear internal heat, and maintain immune and circulatory health.
