What Is Ge Hua?

Ge Hua is the flower of Pueraria lobata. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is described as sweet and neutral and is traditionally chosen for gentle, food-like support when someone wants to feel more balanced and comfortable—especially after dietary excess.

This product page focuses on traditional use and general wellness support. It is not medical advice and does not replace care from a qualified professional.

Why Customers Choose This Ge Hua

1) It’s Unsulfured

“Unsulfured” means the herb is processed without sulfur fumigation, a method sometimes used to alter appearance or storage characteristics. Many customers prefer unsulfured herbs for transparency and traditional handling.

2) Single-Herb, Additive-Free

This is 100% Pueraria lobata flower — no fillers, no hidden blends, no added ingredients.

3) Species-Authenticated Brand

Plum Flower is known for clear labeling, authenticated species, and consistent manufacturing standards.

4) Real-World “Bulk Herb” Format

Cut/sliced herbs are designed for tea and decoctions, which many customers prefer because they can control strength, flavor, and brewing style.

Traditional Use and Wellness Support

In traditional practice, Ge Hua is commonly selected to support:

Digestive comfort and a more settled feeling
General wellness balance when the body feels “off” after occasional indulgence
Routine harmony in a traditional tea/decoction program

Important: This is traditional-use information for general wellness support. If you’re managing a medical condition, pregnant/nursing, or taking medications, consult a qualified practitioner.
