Jing Jie Herb Whole (Schizonepeta tenuifolia) is a fragrant, light-textured herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to release the exterior and expel wind, particularly in the early stages of colds, flu, or skin eruptions. Harvested before flowering and dried whole, this herb retains its leafy structure and aromatic qualities, making it ideal for decoctions and therapeutic infusions.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jing Jie is often used to treat wind-cold or wind-heat conditions depending on the herbs it's combined with. It is especially useful in the onset of symptoms like chills, fever, sore throat, and body aches. It is also valued for its ability to vent rashes and alleviate itching, making it supportive in cases of hives or measles where surface-level toxins need to be released.
Jing Jie has a warming, acrid nature and a mildly pungent taste. When brewed, it produces a light, herbal infusion with a distinctive minty, slightly peppery aroma. It is often combined with herbs like Fang Feng, Bo He, or Qiang Huo in formulas designed to release exterior pathogens and support immune response.
Each batch of Jing Jie Herb Whole (Schizonepeta tenuifolia) is carefully harvested and dried to preserve its delicate structure, natural oils, and therapeutic potency. Whether used in traditional cold-relief teas, skin-supporting blends, or early-stage wind-invasion formulas, Jing Jie offers a gentle and effective way to promote surface-level detox and restore balance to the body's exterior defenses.
