Atractylodes Rhizome Pieces (Roasted) (Atractylodes Macrocephala)
Atractylodes Rhizome Pieces (Roasted) (Atractylodes macrocephala), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bai Zhu (白术), are aromatic, warm, and tonifying root pieces revered for their ability to strengthen the spleen, dry dampness, and support energy (qi). In this roasted form, Bai Zhu offers enhanced digestive-warming and qi-tonifying properties, making it especially useful in formulas that aim to fortify the body's core systems.
Traditionally, roasted Atractylodes is used to support digestion, reduce bloating, improve appetite, and promote fluid metabolism. It is also employed to strengthen the body’s resistance to fatigue and external pathogens, and is commonly included in tonic formulas for digestive weakness, loose stools, or spleen qi deficiency. Roasting the rhizome intensifies its warming, aromatic quality, making it particularly suited for those with cold or damp constitutional patterns.
When decocted, Roasted Atractylodes Rhizome Pieces yield a rich, earthy infusion with a warm, slightly sweet and bitter taste. It pairs well with herbs like Dang Shen, Fu Ling, Chen Pi, and Gan Cao, enhancing both flavor and effectiveness in traditional formulas.
Each batch of Atractylodes Rhizome Pieces (Roasted) (Atractylodes macrocephala) is carefully sliced, roasted, and dried to preserve its natural strength, warmth, and therapeutic essence. Whether used in decoctions, traditional tonics, or digestion-supporting herbal blends, this time-honored botanical offers a grounding and restorative approach to promoting digestive health, boosting qi, and restoring balance.
