Fritillaria Thunbergii Bulb Powder (Fritillaria thunbergii Miq.) is a finely ground form of the dried bulb of the Thunberg fritillary, a species traditionally used in Chinese medicine for its powerful phlegm-resolving, heat-clearing, and cough-relieving properties. Known in TCM as Zhe Bei Mu (浙贝母), this herb is especially valued for addressing chronic dry coughs, nodules, and inflammatory conditions involving the lungs or upper respiratory tract.
This powder is used in formulas to moisten the lungs, clear heat, and dissolve phlegm, making it ideal for cases of persistent cough, bronchitis, or swollen lymph nodes. Unlike some other Fritillaria species that are stronger and colder, Zhe Bei Mu is considered milder and safer for longer-term use, especially in individuals with heat signs and thick, yellow sputum.
Traditionally decocted or blended into powders and capsules, this form allows for easy incorporation into custom herbal prescriptions or ready-to-use remedies. It is also sometimes included in topical applications for inflammatory swellings or skin irritations, particularly when associated with heat toxicity.
Each batch of Fritillaria Thunbergii Bulb Powder is made from carefully dried, selected bulbs to preserve their delicate medicinal quality. Whether added to a classical respiratory formula or used as part of a heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving protocol, this powder delivers a trusted traditional remedy in a convenient modern format.
