Lang Du Root Pieces (Euphorbia ebracteolata) are the dried root sections of a potent herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) under the name Láng Dú (狼毒). This powerful botanical is valued for its ability to expel parasites, resolve toxins, break up masses, and reduce stubborn accumulations, particularly in conditions involving chronic skin disorders, nodules, and parasitic infestation. Its nature is considered bitter, acrid, and neutral to slightly warm, with a strong dispersing and toxin-resolving action.
In TCM, Lang Du is traditionally used to kill parasites and resolve toxic accumulations, both internally and externally. It has historically been prescribed for ringworm, scabies, chronic eczema, ulcerative sores, lymphatic swellings, and abdominal masses, particularly when conventional methods fail to clear persistent pathogens. It is also noted in classical texts for addressing deep-rooted parasitic conditions.
Lang Du Root is more commonly used externally, prepared as washes, powders, or topical applications for stubborn fungal infections, skin parasites, and toxic swellings. Internal use is highly specialized and traditionally reserved for carefully supervised treatment due to its potency and potential toxicity.
Modern research shows that Euphorbia ebracteolata contains diterpenoids, resin compounds, and cytotoxic constituents with documented antiparasitic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties. These strong bioactive compounds explain both its therapeutic potential and its narrow safety margin.
Each batch of Lang Du Root Pieces (Euphorbia ebracteolata) is carefully sourced and prepared to preserve its dense root structure and concentrated medicinal profile. Traditionally, it is used to expel parasites, resolve toxin, reduce masses, and address persistent skin and inflammatory conditions when properly formulated.

Notes: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lang Du is regarded as a strong and toxic herb traditionally used to expel parasites, reduce accumulations, disperse masses, and address stubborn skin disorders. It is pungent, bitter, and toxic in nature. Due to its potency, it is used in very small, carefully controlled amounts in classical formulas and is not a culinary herb. Internal use traditionally requires professional supervision, as improper dosage may cause irritation or toxicity. Accurate botanical identification is important, as multiple species have historically been referred to as “Lang Du.”
