Product Description
Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber)- Liquid Extract (Tincture):
This tincture is processed pinellia tuber (Zhi ban xia), a very commonly used herb in Chinese medicine when there is excess phlegm in the chest area and/or the stomach. It is found in a wide variety of formulas that address cough, wheezing, nausea & vomiting, and chest constriction (caused by excess phlegm). As a single herb tincture, this is good to have around to add to any formula you might be taking to address a cold or flu in which the cough has settled in and there is copious sputum being coughed up. This herb can also help relieve chest congestion & wheezing in these situations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ban Xia Pinellia Tuber Liquid Extract Tincture used for?
Ban Xia (Pinellia ternata) is one of the most important herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine for transforming phlegm and drying dampness. It is primarily used to address phlegm-dampness patterns presenting as nausea, vomiting, and a sense of fullness or congestion in the chest and stomach. TCM practitioners also commonly use Ban Xia to help harmonize the Stomach, descend rebellious Qi, and relieve cough with excessive mucus.
How do you take Ban Xia Pinellia Tuber Liquid Extract Tincture?
As a liquid extract tincture, Ban Xia is taken by dispensing the recommended number of drops or a dropper-full into a small amount of warm water and drinking it, typically 2–3 times daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. The liquid form allows for flexible dosing and rapid absorption compared to pills or tablets. Always consult a qualified TCM practitioner or licensed healthcare provider before use to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual constitution and condition.
What does ‘Ban Xia’ mean and is this tincture safe to use long-term?
Ban Xia (半夏) literally translates to ‘half summer’ in Chinese, referring to the time of year the Pinellia tuber is traditionally harvested. Raw Ban Xia is considered toxic and is almost always processed (zhi ban xia) before use — cured with ginger, alum, or licorice to neutralize its irritating compounds — so reputable liquid extract preparations use the processed form. Due to its potent drying nature, long-term or unsupervised use is generally not recommended, and it should be used under the guidance of a qualified TCM practitioner, especially for those who are pregnant or have Yin deficiency.
