Mulberry Root Bark Pieces (Morus Alba)

Mulberry Root Bark Pieces (Morus alba), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Sang Bai Pi (桑白皮), are sweet, cold, and dispersing herb segments traditionally used to clear lung heat, stop coughing and wheezing, and promote urination to reduce swelling. Sourced from the inner bark of the white mulberry tree, these dried pieces retain their natural pale color, fibrous texture, and cooling energy, making them a key ingredient in respiratory and fluid-regulating formulas.

In TCM, Sang Bai Pi is best known for its ability to clear heat from the lungs and ease symptoms like cough with thick yellow phlegm, chest fullness, or labored breathing. It is also used to support healthy fluid metabolism, particularly in cases of edema or facial swelling due to lung or spleen dysfunction. Its mildly diuretic nature helps the body release excess fluids without being overly drying.

When decocted, Mulberry Root Bark Pieces produce a mild, slightly sweet infusion that blends well with herbs like Huang Qin (Scutellaria), Ting Li Zi (Lepidium seed), or Fu Ling (Poria) in formulas targeting phlegm-heat and water retention.

Each batch of Mulberry Root Bark Pieces (Morus alba) is carefully harvested, stripped, and dried to preserve its traditional therapeutic qualities and herbal integrity. Whether used in lung-clearing decoctions, phlegm-resolving blends, or formulas for swelling and water retention, Sang Bai Pi provides a time-honored, gentle yet effective way to cool internal heat, soothe the lungs, and regulate fluid balance.
