Tong Cao – 通草 is the pith taken from Tetrapanax stems (commonly known as rice-paper plant). In traditional Chinese herbal theory it is considered cold and sweet in nature. It is classed among “herbs that drain dampness.”
In TCM understanding, Tong Cao is believed to support movement in pathways, ease fluid stagnation, and provide gentle support in the upper regions.
