      Lotus Seeds /Xiang Lian Zi (16 oz/Bag)

      Like Lian zi, this is the mature seed of the water lily plant. The differences between Xianglianzi (lotus seed with brown inner hull) and Bailianzi (white lotus seed) are as follows:

      1. Xianglian seeds (with hull) have high protein content and a low fat content. It has delicate meat, a sweet glutinous taste, and total sugar and protein content rank first in China's three major lotus species. White lotus seed is rich in starch, protein and raffinose (a complex carbohydrate composed of glucose, fructose, and galactose.) But its nutritional content is not as good as Xianglian seed.  
      2. Both Xianglianzi and Bailianzi invigorate qi, nourish the heart and kidney, calm the mind, strengthen the spleen and stomach, etc. However, Xianglianzi focuses more on qi and blood, while Bailianzi (white lotus seed) focuses more on clearing nervous disorders. See: Dried Lian Zi: Item Number: 541216
      3. Bailianzi is used to treat lung inflammation and dry cough, women's irregular menstruation, gastritis, constipation and other diseases. Whereas Xianglianzi (with the hull) is used to clear away inflammation and detoxify, and tonify blood and qi.

      The taste is sweet and astringent. 

      Tradtional Indications are chronic spleen deficiency and diarrhea, kidney deficiency with nocturnal emission, chronic leukorrhea, incontinense, restlessness, panic, and insomnia. It enters the meridians of Heart, Spleen, Kidney, Stomach, Liver, and Bladder channels
