Product: Wild Gleditsia Fruit Sections

Origin: Qinling Mountains, China

Net weight: 8oz–16oz

Shelf life: Long-term

Do not exceed the recommended dosage when taken internally: Typically 1.5–5 g when decocted; only 1–1.5 g when ground into powder and swallowed.

Contraindications: Not for people with weakness, qi deficiency and yin depletion, stomach ulcers, orhemoptysis

Note: Use internally only under the guidance of a physician.

Gleditsia fruit is also known as jiqizi, long Gleditsia pod, hanging knife, Gleditsia thorn, black rhinoceros, and other names. It is the dried, mature fruit of Gleditsia sinensis, a legume. It has a distinctive, irritating odor.

It has a pungent, salty taste, is warm in nature, is mildly toxic, and is associated with the Lung and Large Intestine meridians.

Benefits
  • Expels stubborn phlegm: Gleditsia fruit contains abundant saponins that strongly stimulate the gastric mucosa and reflexively promote respiratory mucus secretion, thereby softening hardened, sticky phlegm and making it easy to expel.
  • Opens the orifices: Its pungent, dispersing medicinal properties strongly stimulate the nasal mucosa and trigger yawning or sneezing. This neural reflex is used to promote alertness and open blocked orifices.
  • Dispels wind and kills parasites: Its natural constituents have inhibitory and lethal effects against various skin fungi and bacteria.
  • Disperses nodules and reduces swelling: When applied externally, it has local anti-inflammatory effects, promotes the smooth circulation of local qi and blood, and helps disperse early-stage lumps.
  • Moistens dryness and promotes bowel movements: Its pungent flavor helps move qi in the Large Intestine, while its mucilage or suppositories can directly lubricate the intestines and promote bowel movements.

Traditional Uses

Sticky, hardened phlegm obstructing the respiratory tract: Traditionally used for phlegm obstructing the Lungs, causing coughing with abundant phlegm, chest tightness, wheezing, and fullness, or even upward-rushing cough and difficulty lying flat.

  • Sudden coma and lockjaw due to stroke: Used for profuse phlegm and saliva, sudden loss of consciousness, tightly clenched jaws, and facial paralysis. It is commonly ground into powder with Asarum and blown into the nose to induce sneezing, or combined with alum and taken with warm water to induce vomiting and expel phlegm and saliva.
  • Dry, hardened stools and constipation due to intestinal wind: Traditionally used for chronic constipation and dry, hard stools in older adults or when caused by stagnant qi. 
  • Carbuncles, swollen sores, stubborn ringworm, and scabies:
    • External application: May be used for unruptured sores and swellings by preparing it as a paste for external application, helping to disperse nodules, reduce swelling, and relieve pain.
    • Vinegar soak and wash: Soak the ground powder in aged vinegar and apply it, or decoct it in water for steaming and washing. Traditionally used for athlete’s foot, scabies, vaginal trichomoniasis, stubborn ringworm, and itchy skin. 
  • Wind-related headaches and hair loss: Wash the hair with a decoction to help relieve itchy scalp and excessive dandruff and to support hair-loss prevention and hair growth

It cleanses the hair, promotes hair regrowth, and removes dandruff, as follows:

1. Cleanses the hair: Gleditsia fruit has excellent cleansing properties. It contains abundant plant nutrients, including fats, polysaccharides, proteins, and caffeine, which help ensure that scalp cells receive adequate nourishment while also cleansing the hair.

2. Promotes hair regrowth: Washing the hair with Gleditsia fruit can help repair the hair. It can make the hair look dark, lustrous, and shiny while also helping repair damaged hair. Gleditsia fruit contains abundant saponins and essential trace elements needed during hair growth.

3. Removes dandruff: Gleditsia fruit is a natural hair-washing product that provides some nourishment to the hair. It can effectively eliminate most of the fungi remaining on the scalp and has an excellent inhibitory effect on dandruff. Its local stimulating effect also significantly promotes blood circulation in the scalp.
