Fringed Pink Herb Whole (Dianthus Superbus)
Fringed Pink Herb Whole (Dianthus superbus), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Qu Mai (瞿麦), is a bitter, cold, and downward-directing herb traditionally used to promote urination, clear damp-heat from the lower burner, and invigorate blood circulation. This whole-herb form includes the stems, leaves, and flowers, dried to preserve its light texture, vibrant color, and detoxifying properties.
In TCM, Qu Mai is most commonly used to treat painful urinary dysfunction (lin syndrome), especially when caused by damp-heat in the bladder, manifesting as burning urination, dark urine, or difficulty urinating. It is also known for its ability to invigorate the blood and regulate menstruation, making it helpful for conditions such as amenorrhea or menstrual pain due to blood stasis.
When decocted, Fringed Pink Herb yields a light, bitter infusion with a slightly earthy aroma. It is often used alongside herbs like Bian Xu (Polygonum), Che Qian Zi (Plantago), or Mu Tong (Akebia) in formulas that clear heat, promote urination, and resolve stagnation in the lower jiao.
Each batch of Fringed Pink Herb Whole (Dianthus superbus) is carefully harvested, dried, and preserved to maintain its purity, potency, and traditional energetic qualities. Whether used in cleansing teas, urinary support formulas, or blood-invigorating blends, Qu Mai offers a gentle yet effective herbal approach to promoting elimination, clearing internal heat, and restoring balance to the lower body.
