Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Native to the mountainous regions of China, Corydalis (Corydalis yanhusuo)—known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Yan Hu Suo—is a cherished botanical member of the poppy family (Papaveraceae). Used since at least the 8th century, it holds an exceptional reputation as one of oriental medicine's most potent herbs for moving blood, invigorating circulating energy (Qi), and easing body discomfort. Rich in naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloids (such as dehydrocorybulline and tetrahydropalmatine), Corydalis Root is celebrated by Western herbalists and traditional practitioners alike for its remarkable ability to calm overactive nerve signals, soothe deep physical tension, and promote comfortable, undisturbed rest.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Acrid, bitter, spicy, earthy
• Energetics: Warm, moving, relaxing, invigorating

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Physical Comfort & Discomfort Relief: Soothing deep muscular aches, tension, joint discomfort, and nerve-related tightness throughout the body.
• Blood Flow & Circulation: Encouraging smooth cardiovascular and peripheral circulation to ease stagnant fluid or blood congestion.
• Nervous System & Restful Sleep: Calming overstimulated nerve pathways to ease tension and support deep, restful sleep when discomfort disturbs rest.
• Abdominal & Menstrual Ease: Relieving spasmodic pelvic discomfort, monthly menstrual cramping, and tight, cold digestive stagnation.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Decoction (Root Tea): Add 1–2 teaspoons (approx. 3–5g) of sliced or crushed Corydalis Root to 1.5–2 cups of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, cover with a lid, and simmer low for 15–20 minutes. Strain thoroughly and sip warm
• Flavor Tip: Due to its bitter, acrid taste, it is traditionally simmered alongside warming, soothing herbs like Ginger Root or Licorice Root to smooth the flavor profile.

Pack Sizes & Servings:

• 15g Bag: Approx. 5 to 7 cups (Perfect for sampling)
• 25g Bag: Approx. 10 to 12 cups (Ideal for a 1-week daily routine)

Calculated based on 1 gently heaped teaspoon (approx. 2g–3g) per 250ml cup.

Serving estimates are based on a standard 1 tsp (approx. 2g) per cup. Yield may vary slightly depending on the density of specific root, seed, or leaf blends.
