Chinaberry Fruit Whole (Melia Toosendan)

Chinaberry Fruit Whole (Melia toosendan) is the dried fruit of the Chinaberry tree, a bitter and aromatic herb long used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for its qi-regulating, pain-relieving, and heat-clearing properties. Known in TCM as Chuan Lian Zi, this potent fruit is valued for its ability to disperse stagnant liver qi, alleviate pain, and expel parasites, particularly in conditions linked to tension, inflammation, or digestive imbalance. In traditional practice, Chinaberry Fruit is described as bitter, cold, and slightly toxic, entering the Liver, Small Intestine, and Bladder channels. It is used to soothe liver qi stagnation, a common cause of flank pain, menstrual cramps, or epigastric distension. It also helps clear heat and relieve pain associated with inflammation of the urinary or digestive tract. In stronger applications, it is used to expel intestinal parasites and alleviate abdominal discomfort. In TCM formulas, Chuan Lian Zi is often paired with Fructus Toosendan
