Chinese Sweetflag Rhizome Pieces (Acorus Gramineus)
Chinese Sweetflag Rhizome Pieces (Acorus gramineus), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Shi Chang Pu (石菖蒲), are aromatic, warming, and awakening root pieces traditionally used to open the orifices, transform dampness, and calm the spirit. Carefully sliced and dried, these rhizome pieces retain their distinct earthy fragrance and bitter-acrid flavor, making them a vital herb in formulas that target mental clarity, digestion, and phlegm obstruction.
In TCM, Shi Chang Pu is commonly used to dispel phlegm misting the mind, making it especially useful for addressing clouded thinking, poor memory, dizziness, or restlessness. It is also used to harmonize the middle jiao (digestive system) and promote healthy digestion, appetite, and clarity in cases of dampness or stagnation.
When decocted, Chinese Sweetflag Rhizome Pieces produce a light amber infusion with a warm, pungent aroma and a mildly bitter taste. It is often paired with herbs like Yuan Zhi (Polygala), Fu Ling (Poria), or Bai Zhu (Atractylodes) in traditional formulas for mental focus, phlegm resolution, and digestive support.
Each batch of Chinese Sweetflag Rhizome Pieces (Acorus gramineus) is carefully harvested, cleaned, and sliced to preserve its aromatic compounds and therapeutic potency. Whether used in classical formulas, restorative teas, or decoctions, this revered herb offers a time-tested approach to enhancing clarity, calming the spirit, and balancing the body's internal environment.
