Among traditional herbal materials, Sha Shen is a root herb that has been used in traditional herbal culture for generations. The root is elongated with natural surface markings. After drying, its colour ranges from pale yellowish-white to yellow-brown.
When sliced, the interior appears lighter in colour, with a fine texture and a mild natural aroma. In traditional herbal culture, Sha Shen is often combined with other herbs, particularly in formulations traditionally associated with supporting the Lungs and nourishing Yin.
