What it is:
White Lotus Seed (Lian zi) is the dried seeds from the sacred lotus plant (aka water lily). It is a medicinal herb that has a drying and tissue-tightening effect to the mucosa of the digestive tract and is used when poor digestion has led to to water accumulation in the intestines producing chronic, watery loose stool/diarrhea. This astringent property extends to tissue in the urinary and reproductive tracts to address spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, and profuse, clear, or white vaginal discharge.
Which concerns is it good for?
✔ edema
✔ other discharges from the reproductive "plumbing"
Key benefits:
- tightens tissues in the reproductive and urinary tracts
- helps stop watery, "cool" diarrhea
- helps stop other types of "leakage"
Traditional Chinese medicine benefits:
- Tonifies the Spleen and stops diarrhea
- Tonifies the Kidney and consolidates jing
- Nourishes the Heart and calms the Shen
What else you need to know:
This is a medicinal herb (i.e. not for daily, tonic ingestion) to be used when there is excess dampness/water retention to the point of edema, watery loose stools, or other discharges related to excess dampness. It is usually used in formula, combined with other herbs (cf Shen Ling Bai Zhu Tang)
Suggested usage:
Dosage is 6-15g, decocted in water (simmer for 30-60 minutes in 2-3 cups of water).
