Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate) (CaSO₄·2H₂O), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as "Shi Gao," is a naturally occurring mineral revered for its potent cooling, heat-clearing, and soothing properties. Carefully harvested and processed to maintain its pure crystalline structure, Shi Gao has been valued in traditional practices for centuries as an essential ingredient in herbal formulations aimed at reducing internal heat and restoring harmony within the body.

In TCM, Gypsum is traditionally employed to clear heat from the lungs and stomach, often being used to address symptoms such as high fever, intense thirst, or irritation caused by excessive internal heat. Its cool, mildly sweet nature effectively calms inflammation, provides relief from dryness, and promotes balanced fluid metabolism. Its fine, powdery texture allows for effortless incorporation into decoctions, topical preparations, and other herbal applications.

Each batch of Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate (Shi Gao) is meticulously selected and processed to ensure consistent purity, potency, and effectiveness. Whether used alone or blended with other botanicals in customized herbal formulas, Gypsum provides a reliable, nature-derived solution rooted in centuries-old holistic traditions.

Whether you're seeking relief from heat-related discomfort, support for skin health, or a versatile mineral to enhance traditional herbal remedies, Shi Gao offers a trusted pathway grounded in time-tested natural wisdom.
