Wise Woman Herbals’ Red Root (Ceanothus spp.) is a traditional Chinese herb that has been used for centuries to support the immune and lymphatic systems. It is also known as Yuan Hua, which means “root of the red flower.”

Red Root is believed to work by transforming phlegm, invigorating Xue, and cooling Xues. Phlegm is a sticky substance that can build up in the body and cause problems. Xue is the blood and its associated fluids. Red Root is thought to help move phlegm and blood, which may help to improve circulation and reduce inflammation.
