Note:  For those who prefer this herb in its un-processed  form (Fa) please check the selection for "Fa" in the above "add on" feature; however, if you wish your choice to be powdered select the powdered version in the "add on" box.  The price for both Fa and Jiang (prepared & powdered) are the same.

Caution: This herb is slightly toxic or toxic.  Like all things in life, Chinese herbal medicine is far from perfect, and it’s important for consumers to understand that although they are few in number, there are some ingredients that are part of the Chinese herbal pharmacopoeia that are considered toxic.  Normally, when toxic or slightly toxic ingredients are used (in a formula) an antidotal ingredient is always added as part of the prescription in order to mitigate the toxicity of the ingredient in question.  Therefore, we recommend this herb be used under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicinal professional.
