Sophora Flower Bud Whole (Sophora Japonica)

Sophora Flower Bud Whole (Sophora japonica) is the unopened flower bud of the pagoda tree, traditionally used in both Eastern herbal medicine and natural dyeing. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is called Huai Hua Mi (槐花米) and is renowned for its cooling, blood-cooling, and hemostatic properties.

This herb is particularly valued for helping to clear heat in the blood, reduce bleeding, and support vascular health. It is commonly used in formulas to treat hemorrhoids, blood in the stool, nosebleeds, and other bleeding conditions attributed to heat and blood stagnation. Additionally, it is thought to help lower blood pressure and support liver health.

The buds contain potent flavonoids such as rutin, which contribute to their vascular strengthening and antioxidant actions. In both traditional and modern herbal practice, Sophora flower buds are often decocted into teas or added to herbal blends designed to cool the blood and stop bleeding, particularly when caused by liver fire or intestinal heat.

Each batch of Sophora Flower Bud Whole (Sophora japonica) is harvested and dried at peak potency, preserving its unique yellow-green color and bioactive compounds. It can be used in decoctions, powders, or blended with herbs aimed at promoting cardiovascular and circulatory balance, as well as supporting the body's ability to manage heat-related bleeding symptoms.
