Traditional Usage

Shouwuteng, a herb made from the stems of the Fleece Flower plant, has a sweet, neutral character. It enters the heart and liver meridians, and has traditionally been used as a sedative and tonic. It is useful for calming the spirit, nourishing the blood and treating general bodily weakness. It is also useful for anxiety and insomnia, especially in cases of dream-disturbed sleep.
