What is Po Bu Zi Ye?:

The Chinese Herb Po Bu Zi Ye is dried leaves from a species of tree that produces fruits (found in Asian and Indian markets) called fragrant manjack (Cordia dichotoma Forst. F.). This particular species of deciduous tree is native to wide swaths of East Asia, from South and Southeast China through Taiwan and the Ryuku Islands in Japan and on into Myanmar and India. All parts of tree have uses in many varied traditional medicinal systems throughout this region; its actions in TCM theory are noted below.
