Cuscuta Seed, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Tu Si Zi, is a classic tonic herb traditionally valued for supporting kidney and liver function, reproductive health, and overall vitality. It has long been used as a restorative adaptogen that nourishes the body’s core energy and promotes balance.
In TCM, Cuscuta Seed is used to strengthen Kidney Essence while gently supporting Liver function, making it unique among reproductive tonics. It is traditionally used for fertility support, sexual vitality, and endurance, while also being associated with healthy aging and vision support.
Unlike harsher Yang tonics, Cuscuta Seed is considered nourishing and stabilizing, helping to support hormonal balance and resilience without excessive stimulation. This makes it well-suited for long-term use as part of a holistic vitality regimen.
