What Is Fructus Evodiae?

Fructus Evodiae, also referred to as Evodia Fruit or by its Chinese name Wu Zhu Yu, comprises the dried, nearly ripe fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa (Juss.) Benth., a small tree in the Rutaceae family. This plant has held a place in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Harvested from late summer to early autumn when the fruits turn reddish-brown, they are dried for longevity. Our product presents the fruit in its whole, natural state.

Sourced with care, each fruit retains its characteristic pungent aroma and appearance. The 1000g resealable bag ensures freshness and easy portioning.

How to Uses This Herb

The traditional method is decoction—simmering the whole fruit in water to extract its compounds. A qualified practitioner typically recommends 1.5 to 4.5 grammes per dose. Simmer in boiling water for 30–60 minutes, then strain and consume. Due to its potency, it is often combined with other herbs in formulae. For external uses, grind the fruit into a powder and mix into poultices. Tinctures can also be prepared by steeping the fruit in alcohol, whilst this requires proper knowledge.

Always consult a health care professional or licenced herbalist for appropriate dosage and usage.

Storage and Handling

Keep the pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal tightly after each uses. Avoid moisture to prevent stickiness or mould. Under proper conditions, dried herbs maintain their properties for up to 1–2 years; for best results, uses within 12 months of opening. The fruit contains essential oils that may irritate sensitive skin—wash hands after handling. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
