Potentially Rich in Nutrients: A possible nutrient-dense herb, it may provide valuable compounds for general well-being.

Moistening Character: Known for its naturally moistening qualities, Yu Zhu is a valuable addition to gentle herbal blends.
Versatile Herbal Use: Often used in traditional preparations, Yu Zhu offers a variety of applications in herbal practice.
We recommend around 10g per portion.
The rhizome is firm, so simmer it in water for twenty to thirty minutes rather than steeping briefly, then strain. It is naturally sweet, so it works well as a base for blends that need rounding out, and can also be added to soups at the start of cooking.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Yu Zhu holds more moisture than most roots in the range, so keep it well sealed.
