🍊 Chen Pi – Lifting the Fog, Moving the Mood
Known as Chen Pi in Chinese Medicine, this aged tangerine peel (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae) is a trusted herb for moving stagnant Qi, easing emotional heaviness, and reviving clarity after times of frustration, lethargy, or grief.
In spiritual practice, Chen Pi is used to lighten stuck energy, especially in the chest, diaphragm, and mind. Its citrus scent and warming nature make it a favorite for ritual teas, cleansing spells, and emotional renewal ceremonies.
