Light Wheat Grain Whole (Triticum Aestivum)
Light Wheat Grain Whole (Triticum aestivum), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Fu Xiao Mai (浮小麦), is a sweet, cool, and gently nourishing grain traditionally used to stabilize the exterior, stop spontaneous sweating, and calm the spirit. These whole, unprocessed wheat grains are carefully cleaned and dried, retaining their natural husk and golden color, making them ideal for use in decoctions or gentle nourishing teas.
In TCM, Fu Xiao Mai is most commonly used to address deficiency-related sweating, such as spontaneous sweating or night sweats, particularly when associated with qi or yin deficiency. It also has a calming effect on the heart and mind, and is often included in formulas to help ease irritability, restlessness, or emotional instability linked to underlying deficiency patterns.
When simmered, Light Wheat Grain Whole produces a mild, slightly sweet infusion with a soft, grainy aroma. It is often combined with herbs like Mu Li (Oyster Shell), Huang Qi (Astragalus), and Suan Zao Ren (Zizyphus Seed) in formulas designed to nourish the heart, stabilize the exterior, and quiet the spirit.
Each batch of Light Wheat Grain Whole (Triticum aestivum) is carefully sourced and prepared to maintain its natural integrity, freshness, and energetic qualities. Whether used in traditional calming teas or deficiency-supporting formulas, Fu Xiao Mai offers a gentle, time-honored way to nourish, stabilize, and harmonize the body and mind.
