Lotus Leaf

荷叶 - He Ye



In Traditional Chinese Medicine, He Ye is associated with the Heart, Liver and Spleen Meridians. 


This herb has a bitter, slightly sweet, neutral flavour profile and is cooling in nature.


He Ye is often used for:


  • Aiding weight loss - rich in an amino acid called taurine, which slows the absorption of fat to lose weight and burn fat naturally.


  • Relieving summer heat - excessive sweating, fever, and irritability.


  • Raising Spleen Yang - effective in treating diarrhoea, spleen deficiency, or in recovering from summer-heat.


  • Stops Bleeding - for bleeding in the Lower Jiao from heat or stagnation, and for vomiting blood.
