Aconite Root Pieces (Prepared) (Aconitum carmichaelii), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Zhi Fu Zi (制附子), are hot, pungent, and deeply tonifying root segments traditionally used to restore devastated yang, warm the interior, and support circulation. These pieces are made from carefully prepared and detoxified Aconite roots, ensuring they retain their powerful therapeutic effects while minimizing toxicity for safe internal use.

In TCM, Zhi Fu Zi is considered one of the most important and potent yang-warming herbs, used to revive collapsed yang, especially in cases of extreme cold, fatigue, weakness, or shock. It is often prescribed for symptoms such as cold limbs, weak pulse, aversion to cold, joint pain, and chronic cold-type digestive disorders. It also helps to disperse cold and relieve pain, making it useful in treating arthritic conditions and cold-induced stagnation.

When decocted, Prepared Aconite Root Pieces are typically boiled for a longer duration (30–60 minutes before adding other herbs) to fully activate their warming properties and ensure safety. They are often used in classic formulas alongside herbs like Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger), Ren Shen (Ginseng), and Bai Zhu (Atractylodes) to tonify qi and yang, especially in patterns of yang collapse or deficiency.

Each batch of Aconite Root Pieces (Prepared) (Aconitum carmichaelii) is carefully processed using traditional detoxification methods, which may include boiling and soaking in brine, to ensure purity, safety, and effectiveness. Whether used in deeply restorative formulas or warming decoctions, Zhi Fu Zi offers a time-honored and powerful method for reviving yang, dispelling cold, and restoring the body’s core vitality.
