50g Bag – Japanese Camellia Flower.

In China, the Japanese Camellia (Shan Cha Hua) has been valued for centuries for its beneficial properties for the skin, hair, and internal balance.
According to classical texts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this flower works by releasing the exterior (Jie Biao, ??), thus promoting gentle sweating and the circulation of Yang Qi. It is used to eliminate stagnation, purify the skin, and strengthen natural defenses.
In ancient practices, it is also known for nourishing the hair and enhancing the skin’s radiance, making it a prized ingredient in natural cosmetics.
A symbol of eternal youth in Asia, it is often consumed as a tea or applied topically in oil form to preserve vitality and beauty.

Shan Cha Hua is a precious herb in the traditional Chinese pharmacopoeia (TCM), known for its purifying, balancing, and calming properties. Its traditional use in herbal teas or decoctions helps support energetic harmony of the body and mind.

Benefits and Uses
Eliminates heat and toxins: Shan Cha Hua is used to cool the body and eliminate internal toxins, especially in cases of Liver Heat or Damp-Heat conditions.
Emotional soothing: This flower helps calm mental agitation and recenters the Shen (Spirit), making it helpful in times of stress or emotional tension.
Digestive support: It is also known to support digestion, especially in cases of Qi stagnation in the stomach region.
Immune support: By promoting internal balance, this plant indirectly helps to strengthen the immune system.

Recommended Use
Decoction: Boil a few flowers in water for 10 to 15 minutes. This slow extraction method allows the flower’s active components to be fully released.
Infusion: Infuse 3 to 5 flowers in 250 ml of hot water for 10 minutes. Drink warm or hot, ideally between meals.

Shan Cha Hua is a rare and delicate flower, particularly appreciated for its gentle yet deep effect on Liver and Heart energy. Incorporated into a wellness routine, it brings freshness, inner calm, and digestive lightness.
