Bai-Zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala) is a milder, more tonifying root than its relative Cang Zhu (Atractylodes lancea). Traditional herbal systems use it to gently support digestive comfort, reduce occasional bloating, and maintain healthy fluid metabolism. People often take it as a tea, decoction, or capsule with meals.
Long-term use without a break is not advised.
