Zhi Shi Benefits & Information

In traditional Chinese medicine immature bitter orange breaks stagnant Qi, reduces accumulation, transforms phlegm, relieves distension, and is used in Qi tonics.  Studies have found the antifungal properties of bitter orange are beneficial with fungal infections such as jock itch, athletes’ foot, ringworm, and other skin issues when applied topically.  Other health benefits of immature bitter orange include supporting digestive health, easing occasional constipation, may benefit healthy weight management, promotes wound healing, may support healthy blood glucose levels, benefits cardiovascular health, and supports liver health.

The cut form of Zhi Shi can be used to make a decoction, tincture, or tea.  Powdered Zhi Shi is perfect to make your own fresh, filler free, immature bitter orange capsules or compress.
