Cang Er Zi is a medicinal herb from the flowering plant called cocklebur (Xanthium), a member of the daisy family, that is native to Asia and the Americas. The spines and seeds of the cocklebur fruit contain a toxic chemical called carboxyatractyloside. When Cang Er Zi is prepared for medicinal use the spines are removed from the bur and often stir-fried to reduce the amount of carboxyatractyloside in the herb.
In traditional Chinese medicine Cang Er Zi has been used for thousands of years to clear away wind, cold, and dampness, relieve nasal obstruction, and ease pain. Cang Er Zi supports nasal health, sinus health, upper respiratory health, helps to lower blood sugar, and alleviates pain. It is commonly used for sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, headaches, rheumatism, eczema, scabies, and leprosy.
Cut Cang Er Zi can be used to make a tea, decoction, or tincture. Use Cang Er Zi powder to make your own fresh filler-free Cang Er Zi capsules.
