Tu Si Zi, also known as Cuscuta seed or Dodder seed, is a well-known herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) used primarily for its tonifying properties. It is classified as a yang tonic and is highly valued for its ability to nourish and strengthen the kidneys and liver. In TCM, Tu Si Zi is commonly used to improve reproductive health, enhance fertility, and support overall vitality. It is believed to fortify the essence (jing), which is crucial for growth, development, and reproductive functions.
Tu Si Zi is also used to strengthen the bones and muscles, improve vision, and support urinary health. It is particularly beneficial for addressing conditions such as lower back pain, weak knees, dizziness, tinnitus, and blurred vision, all of which are often associated with kidney deficiency. Additionally, Tu Si Zi is used to stop diarrhea by tonifying the spleen and kidneys. Its gentle yet effective action makes it suitable for long-term use in promoting overall health and well-being.
