Adenosma Glutinosum Herb Whole (Adenosma Glutinosum)

Adenosma Glutinosum Herb Whole (Adenosma glutinosum) is the dried aerial part of a soft, fragrant plant commonly used in Southeast Asian and southern Chinese herbal traditions. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is known as Mao She Xiang (猫舌香), meaning "fragrant cat's tongue herb," named for the shape and texture of its leaves.

This herb is traditionally used to dispel summer heat, support digestion, clear dampness, and promote urination. It’s especially popular in tropical and humid climates for relieving discomfort from heatstroke, bloating, or sluggish digestion. Mao She Xiang is often decocted on its own or combined with other cooling herbs in functional teas to reduce internal heat and aid detoxification.

Its light, aromatic scent also makes it a common ingredient in herbal bath blends or steam therapies, where it’s used to refresh the skin and ease body fatigue during hot weather. In folk traditions, it has also been applied topically or used in foot soaks to help with fungal or inflammatory skin conditions.

Each batch of whole Adenosma glutinosum is carefully dried to preserve its delicate volatile oils and cooling energy. Whether used in digestive tea, summer detox blends, or aromatic body care, Mao She Xiang offers a gentle and time-honored approach to seasonal support and internal balance.
