Notes: In the Chinese Herbal Medicine book Materia Medica, Hu Zhang Radix (Rhizoma polygoni cuspidati) has alternative names like Da Chang Zhang and Ku Zhang.
This teacut form of Hu Zhang is not a fine powder. It is more like the consistency of sand from the beach. If using a reusable teabag the Hu Zhang can easily be contained in the bag without causing all the herb to float to the bottom. Making tea with a tea cut herb can help avoid causing a "muddy tea" which some people find unpleasant to try and drink.
