San Leng, or Bur-Reed Rhizome, is the underground rhizome of Sparganium stoloniferum. It is traditionally harvested, cleaned, and sliced for use in herbal preparations. The rhizome has a distinct bitter flavour and a robust, earthy quality.
In classical herbal literature, San Leng is valued for its role in promoting movement and resolving stagnation. It is often included in formulas that call for breaking up accumulations and encouraging dynamic flow, particularly when used in combination with other herbs that move Qi and Blood. It is known for its vigorous character among “stagnation‑resolving” herbs.
All Phoenix Medical dry authentic herbs and concentrated herbal granules are not treated with sulphur, herbicides or pesticides.
