White Orchid Root Powder (Bletilla Striata)

White Orchid Root Powder (Bletilla striata) is the finely milled form of the dried tuber of Bletilla, a classical medicinal orchid known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bái Jí (白芨). Revered for its astringent, wound-healing, and bleeding-stopping properties, Bai Ji has been used for centuries to repair tissue, reduce swelling, generate flesh, and stop bleeding both internally and externally. Its nature is bitter, sweet, and slightly cold, making it restorative, protective, and especially effective for injuries, ulcers, and damaged mucous membranes.

In TCM, Bai Ji enters the Lung, Stomach, and Liver channels, where it helps heal sores, stop bleeding, reduce heat, and pull together damaged tissues. It is traditionally used for coughing blood, nosebleeds, vomiting blood, gastric and duodenal ulcers, chronic wounds, burns, fissures, and traumatic injuries. Its powerful astringent nature helps seal wounds, reduce exudate, and accelerate healing, while its moistening and cooling qualities soothe irritated or inflamed tissues.

Externally, White Orchid Root Powder is applied as a topical powder or paste for cuts, burns, cracked skin, non-healing wounds, insect bites, and skin irritation, forming a protective layer that promotes regeneration. Internally, it is used in decoctions or mixed with warm water to support healing of digestive tract ulcers, calm bleeding, and reduce irritation.

Modern research shows that Bletilla striata contains glucomannan polysaccharides, gastrodin, phenolic compounds, and tissue-repairing bioactives with wound-healing, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and mucosal-protective effects. These constituents support rapid tissue regeneration and reduction of inflammatory damage.

Each batch of White Orchid Root Powder (Bletilla striata) is carefully processed to preserve its silky texture, pale color, and potent wound-healing characteristics. When mixed with warm water, it forms a smooth, gel-like consistency traditionally used to stop bleeding, draw wounds together, soothe ulcers, and promote rapid tissue repair both internally and externally.
