Dried Orange Peel (Chen Pi) | 100g bottle

About 

Dried Orange peel, also known as Chen Pi, is considered aromatic with its therapeutic potential, warm temperature and spicy and slightly bitter taste.

The citrusy brightness and pungency of the fruit make it a natural mover and shaker of energy.

Orange fruit is one of the best sources of Vitamin C, which is good for both overall wellness and skin care. Most of the potential benefits of orange are in its skin itself. The more aged the peel, the more potent its possible therapeutic energy — discover more in our guide to using dried orange peel.

At Vita, we supply premium quality concentrated herbal granules for busy individuals that do not have the time to decoct Chinese herbs traditionally.

Unlike other brands, our concentrated granules are produced using state-of-the-art 'Spray Drying' technology, meaning a purer end product and 2–3 times higher concentration.

Recommended Dosage

We recommend a couple of grams decocted per use of concentrated herbal granules.

Remember to store these granules in a cool, dark place to maintain their freshness. It's recommended to consume them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
