What It Has Traditionally Been Used For

Traditionally, Qian Hu has appeared in formulas associated with:

• Coughs with mucus or phlegm
• Chest congestion
• Seasonal respiratory complaints
• Wheezing or difficult breathing
• Certain “wind-heat” patterns in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Each individual packet contains 2oz of roots.

Traditional, distinctive, and intended for the informed herbalist, Hog’s Fennel Root brings the depth of classical East Asian botanical practice to the modern apothecary.

Traditionally known as Qian Hu, Peucedanum praeruptorum is a member of the Apiaceae botanical family. Its dried root has a long history within Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is typically incorporated into carefully designed multi-herb formulas rather than used as an ordinary standalone tea.

Whole Hog’s Fennel Root has an earthy aroma and naturally bitter, slightly pungent character. Because it contains biologically active coumarins, including compounds known as praeruptorins, it should be approached with specialized knowledge and used only after its suitability has been professionally evaluated.

The botanical name Peucedanum praeruptorum is currently accepted in Kew’s botanical records. Kew botanical record
