Chinese Cucumber Root Cut (Trichosanthes kirilowii), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Tian Hua Fen (天花粉), is a cooling, slightly sweet and bitter herb traditionally used to clear heat, generate fluids, transform phlegm, and reduce swelling. Harvested from the thick, fleshy root of the Trichosanthes plant, this cut form is ideal for decoctions and traditional herbal preparations, preserving its natural starchiness and cooling energy.

In TCM, Tian Hua Fen is commonly used to relieve thirst, moisten dryness, and support the lungs and stomach in cases of internal heat, dry cough with thick phlegm, or excessive thirst. It is also used externally to promote healing and reduce inflammation in skin swellings, boils, or abscesses. Its cooling nature makes it particularly useful for clearing heat-related conditions or fluid depletion following febrile illness or chronic dryness.

When decocted, Chinese Cucumber Root Cut yields a mildly bitter, slightly sweet infusion and is often paired with herbs like Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon), Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena), or Gua Lou (Trichosanthes fruit) in formulas that moisten dryness, clear heat, and generate fluids.

Each batch of Chinese Cucumber Root Cut (Trichosanthes kirilowii) is carefully sliced, dried, and processed to retain its natural potency, cooling energy, and traditional qualities. Whether used in lung-supporting teas, heat-clearing formulas, or topical applications, Tian Hua Fen offers a time-tested approach to clearing internal heat, replenishing fluids, and supporting overall balance and vitality.
