Bai Bian Lian Lobelia Herba Lobeliae ChinensisWhat is Ban Bian Lian?

The Chinese Herb Ban Bian Lian is the dried aerial parts of the Chinese (or creeping) lobelia plant (Lobelia chinensis), a low-growing, herbaceous perennial with pale pink to white flowers that bloom in the late summer and into the autumn. This plant is native to paddy fields, moist meadows, bogs, stream banks, and among wet grasses in China and across Southeast Asia but now has a home in North America (both cultivated and growing wild) wherever she can find nice, moist soil and a little shade in the afternoon.
