Split Lotus Seeds

Harvested from the big lotus flower, these small, round, brown seeds are a principal herb in Chinese medicine. These are the split, unpeeled variant of the typically yellow lotus seeds. The lotus seed is well known to help decrease abnormal fluid leakage from organs such as the spleen, kidney, and heart. These seeds can be found in many herbal formulas and used in many popular soups.

Precaution: Use Chinese herbs or herbal extracts with caution. Professional advice is suggested.  In TCM, Chinese herbs are often combined in the context of formulas to enhance each other's desirable action and to minimize any potential side effect. Consult a professional if you are taking any prescription medications or Western medications as it can cause interference and strong effect in the body.
