Also known as Bai Ji, Bletilla Striata is prized for its typical orchid-like properties, particularly its ability to dispel dampness and clear turbidity. As noted in the Ben Cao Bei Yao, it is admired for “eliminating decay and fostering renewal.” With a bitter and pungent taste, its bitterness helps relieve stagnation while its pungency disperses and moistens. Since ancient times, Bletilla Striata has been recognized as an excellent remedy for treating injuries and stopping bleeding. Entering the lung and kidney meridians—which govern the skin—it has been observed clinically to leave the skin smooth and supple. Its longstanding reputation as a skin restorative agent makes it a valued ingredient for nurturing and regenerating skin.
