Goathead Fruit Whole (Tribulus Terrestris)

Goathead Fruit Whole (Tribulus terrestris), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Bai Ji Li (白蒺藜), is a bitter, slightly warm, and dispersing herb traditionally used to soothe the liver, promote the smooth flow of qi, dispel wind, and brighten the eyes. These dried, spiny fruits are carefully cleaned and preserved whole, maintaining their distinctive appearance and energetic qualities.

In TCM, Bai Ji Li is commonly used to address liver qi stagnation, which may manifest as emotional tension, irritability, distending chest or flank discomfort, or irregular menstruation. It is also valued for its ability to dispel wind and relieve itching, making it useful for certain skin conditions or wind-related eye issues, such as red, swollen, or itchy eyes.

When decocted, Goathead Fruit Whole produces a mildly bitter, earthy infusion, and is often combined with herbs like Chai Hu (Bupleurum), Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), or Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry) in formulas designed to support emotional balance, eye health, and skin comfort.

Each batch of Goathead Fruit Whole (Tribulus terrestris) is carefully harvested and dried to preserve its traditional herbal strength and purity. Whether used in liver-soothing teas, wind-clearing formulas, or topical herbal washes, Bai Ji Li offers a time-honored, multi-functional remedy for regulating qi, calming the liver, and supporting the skin and eyes.
