🍊 Zhi Shi – The Force That Clears the Way
Known traditionally as Zhi Shi, Immature Bitter Orange (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus) is a powerful herb used to break through stagnation, activate Qi, and dislodge energetic blockages. Its sharp, bitter nature makes it ideal in both ritual and internal alchemy, when gentler herbs fall short.
In spiritual practice, Zhi Shi carries a distinctly yang, Mars-aligned energy—excellent for banishing, unblocking, and catalyzing movement across physical, emotional, and astral planes.
