How It's Used

In Chinese herbal traditions, Atractylodes is prized for its ability to support the spleen and promote the smooth flow of energy (Qi). It is commonly used to help maintain balance by addressing dampness and supporting the body's natural water metabolism.

In Western herbal practices, Atractylodes is appreciated for its versatile properties, including its role in promoting balance and supporting overall vitality. Its uses range from encouraging natural resilience to supporting the body’s ability to manage everyday stress.

Fun Fact: A member of the sunflower family, Atractylodes boasts flowers with a star-like design. However, it’s the plant’s root that has been treasured for centuries in traditional herbal practices for its wide-ranging benefits.
