Cape Jasmine Fruit Whole (Gardenia jasminoides), known as "Zhi Zi" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a vibrant herbal remedy valued for its cooling, detoxifying, and balancing properties. Derived from the dried, golden-orange fruit of the Gardenia jasminoides plant, this botanical is a cornerstone of traditional remedies used to clear heat, alleviate inflammation, and support overall well-being.
In TCM, Cape Jasmine Fruit is renowned for its ability to clear internal heat and reduce fire-related symptoms such as irritability, fever, and restlessness. It is frequently used to support liver and gallbladder health, aiding in the relief of conditions linked to heat and dampness, including jaundice and digestive discomfort. The fruit's cooling nature also makes it effective for promoting healthy skin by addressing redness, swelling, and minor irritations.
Rich in bioactive compounds such as genipin, crocin, and gardenoside, Cape Jasmine Fruit exhibits strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds contribute to its role in supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes and maintaining a balanced immune response. Modern research has highlighted its potential to promote cardiovascular health and enhance overall vitality.
When brewed into teas or decoctions, the fruit imparts a mildly bitter and slightly aromatic flavor, reflecting its cleansing and harmonizing qualities. It is often combined with other herbs to enhance its therapeutic effects and create synergistic herbal formulas aimed at cooling heat, promoting detoxification, and restoring balance.
Each batch of Cape Jasmine Fruit Whole (Gardenia jasminoides) is carefully harvested and dried to ensure optimal potency and quality.
