Bugleweed Herb Powder (Lycopus Lucidus)

Bugleweed Herb Powder (Lycopus lucidus) is a finely ground preparation of the flowering aerial parts of the bugleweed plant, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Ze Lan (泽兰). This herb is traditionally used to invigorate blood circulation, dispel stasis, and promote urination to reduce swelling. In powdered form, it offers convenience and versatility for internal formulas, encapsulation, or herbal tea blends.

Ze Lan is commonly used in TCM to support healthy menstrual function and relieve discomfort associated with blood stasis, such as irregular periods, postpartum pain, or abdominal fullness. It is also known for its ability to reduce edema and encourage fluid metabolism, making it helpful in formulas addressing water retention or mild swelling.

Outside of Chinese medicine, bugleweed is sometimes noted for its mild diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory-enhancing properties, though the species Lycopus lucidus is distinct from the European and American bugleweed varieties more commonly used in Western herbalism.

Bugleweed Herb Powder has a mildly bitter and aromatic taste and can be blended into decoctions or taken in capsules. It is often combined with herbs such as Yi Mu Cao (Leonurus), Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), or Tao Ren (Peach Kernel) in blood-invigorating and fluid-regulating formulas.

Each batch of Bugleweed Herb Powder (Lycopus lucidus) is finely milled from carefully dried herb to retain its natural color, aroma, and potency. Whether used in traditional blood-moving formulas or modern wellness routines, Ze Lan offers a gentle yet effective way to support circulation, fluid balance, and gynecological health.
