The Chinese Herb Ba Ji Tian is the dried roots of a plant commonly known as Indian Mulberry (Morinda offcinalis How.). It grows naturally along riversides, mountains, and forests and in China is produced mainly in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian provinces. It has succulent cylindrical tubers which are harvested year-round; first the wooden core is removed from the tuber, and then what remains is dried and then either used unprocessed or salt-fried (to guide it to the Kidney) for use as medicine.
