About Caulis Spatholobi

Caulis Spatholobi, also known as Ji Xue Teng, is the stem of a climbing vine prized in traditional herbal practices. When cut, the stem exudes a reddish sap, which is a distinctive feature. The herb is harvested and dried using time-honoured methods that avoid heat, preserving its natural profile.

Quality and Sourcing

USTCM selects this herb from reputable growers who adhere to high cultivation standards. The natural drying process involves controlled air-drying, which helps retain the herb's inherent compounds without artificial heat or chemicals. The rice paper packaging is a traditional choice that allows the herbs to breathe while protecting them from moisture and light. For best storage, keep the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Transferring to an airtight container can further extend shelf life.

How to Prepare a Decoction

Caulis Spatholobi is traditionally prepared as a decoction. Measure 1–2 teaspoons of dried herb into a pot with 500 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes. Strain and serve. The herb can also be used in soups or stews. If combining with other herbs, follow a formula recommended by a knowledgeable practitioner. Dosage may vary; start with a small amount and adjust as needed. For best results, uses filtered water and a non-reactive pot (stainless steel or glass). Cover the pot during simmering to reduce evaporation. After simmering, allow to steep for a few minutes before straining. The resulting tea can be enjoyed warm or cold. For a stronger decoction, increase the amount of herb or extend the simmering time.
