Ingredients:

Extraction Part:
Roots and rhizomes of Homalomena Occulta.

Background:

Grandhi Root is a valuable medicinal plant used by ethnic minorities in the Truong Son mountain range to improve health, relieve joint and muscle pain, prevent rheumatism, and support digestion—common health concerns in mountainous areas. Traditionally, locals used its leaves in cooking and applied crushed roots directly to painful areas. In traditional Eastern medicine, it is classified as a remedy for rheumatism and joint strengthening. The plant is also cultivated for ornamental purposes, environmental purification, and its aromatic qualities.

In the wild, it serves as food for hoofed animals such as deer and mountain goats, contributing to their robust musculoskeletal systems and endurance.
