Chinese Dittany Bark Powder (Dictamnus Dasycarpus)

Chinese Dittany Bark Powder (Dictamnus dasycarpus), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bai Xian Pi (白鲜皮), is a fine, aromatic herbal powder traditionally used to clear heat, expel dampness, and support skin health. Made from the powdered bark of the Dictamnus dasycarpus root, this preparation offers a convenient and potent form ideal for use in capsules, teas, pastes, or external applications.

In TCM, Bai Xian Pi is particularly valued for addressing damp-heat conditions, especially those affecting the skin and lower body. It is commonly included in formulas aimed at relieving itching, redness, swelling, or weeping skin eruptions, and is also used to ease hot-type joint discomfort and clear heat toxins. Its properties are bitter, slightly cold, and astringent, making it a go-to herb for purifying and restoring balance.

When mixed into teas or pastes, Chinese Dittany Bark Powder delivers a mildly bitter, earthy flavor and works well when blended with other heat-clearing herbs such as Huang Bai, Ku Shen, or Jin Yin Hua. It may also be incorporated into topical poultices or washes to support irritated or inflamed skin.

Each batch of Chinese Dittany Bark Powder (Dictamnus dasycarpus) is carefully prepared from clean, dried bark, then finely milled to preserve its natural oils, purity, and therapeutic value. Whether used internally or externally, this traditional herb offers a time-tested, powerful approach to supporting clear skin, cooling internal heat, and promoting overall detoxification and balance.
