Bai Bu 百部 | Stemona Root 🌿

A classic Lung herb in Chinese medicine. Sweet, bitter, and slightly warm, Bai Bu enters the Lung channel. Traditionally it moistens the Lungs, directs Qi downward, and calms cough, whether the cough is new or has lingered for a long time. Honey-fried Bai Bu (蜜百部) is gentler on the stomach and the traditional choice for dry, lingering coughs.

It has a second traditional use as an external wash. Practitioners have long used it to expel parasites and to treat lice.

Notice the twisted pieces with deep lengthwise furrows. Good-quality Bai Bu is yellowish-white to pale brown.

Practitioner note: in Chinese medicine, Bai Bu is used with caution when digestion is weak or the stools are loose, and it is not intended for long-term, high-dose use.

Educational content only, not medical advice. Work with a licensed practitioner.

A gift from Orion Herbs to the acupuncture community.

We’re pleased to offer a complimentary CEU course, in partnership with NSEV Healing Academy: Chinese Herbs for Peaceful Sleep, taught by Daniel J. Atchison-Nevel, AP.

It’s three hours and earns 3 CEUs for Florida acupuncturists. It’s on-demand, so you can watch whenever it suits you, and it stays available to you for a full year.

Daniel walks through his approach to diagnosing sleep disturbances: the Shen’s role in sleep, where Western sleep research and the Chinese medicine view meet, and which classical and modern formulas he reaches for and why. If you have patients who fall asleep easily but wake at 3am, you’ll find a lot here to take back to your treatment room.

Normally $75, with our code there’s no cost. Just enter the code Orionguest at checkout. The code is good until October 31st.
