Cornus
| Pinyin: Shan Yu Rou or Shan Zhu Yu | Latin: Fructus Corni Officinalis |
Description:This sour fruit plays an important role in many Essence tonics. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is said to be "astringent," thereby locking energy into the system and preventing the energy from 'leaking" out. In its own right it is a powerful Yin essence tonic with a warm energy.*
When combined with other tonic herbs, Cornus becomes a powerhouse, and makes the other herbs much more powerful as well.*
