Lotus Leaf Granules (Nelumbo nucifera) are coarsely ground particles of dried lotus leaf, traditionally used in herbal medicine for their cooling, astringent, and fat-dispersing properties. Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as He Ye (荷叶), lotus leaf is favored for promoting healthy digestion, reducing summer heat, and supporting cardiovascular and metabolic balance.
He Ye is often used in formulas that address diarrhea due to summer heat, damp-heat accumulation, or mild bleeding such as blood in stool or excessive menstrual flow. In modern applications, lotus leaf has become popular for its potential role in weight management, cholesterol control, and mild diuretic effects.
Granulated lotus leaf dissolves more easily in decoctions and is ideal for teas, infusions, or blending into powdered herbal preparations. Its mild, slightly bitter taste pairs well with herbs like hawthorn, cassia seeds, or chrysanthemum in metabolic and cardiovascular support blends.
Each batch of Lotus Leaf Granules (Nelumbo nucifera) is carefully prepared to retain the leaf’s active compounds and delicate aroma, offering a convenient form for use in digestive, metabolic, and seasonal wellness formulas.
