Cao Guo, known as Tsaoko Fruit, is an aromatic seed from a perennial herb related to the ginger family. Traditionally referenced in Chinese medicine literature, it is often included in formulations associated with transforming dampness and harmonising the middle Jiao. Its pungent and warming nature makes it a common choice in classical blends used during seasonal transitions or for digestive balance within traditional theory.
