💧 Ze Xie – The Current That Clears
Known in Chinese Medicine as Ze Xie, Water Plantain Root (Rhizoma Alismatis) is a traditional herb that guides excess moisture and energetic stagnation downward. Spiritually, it is revered for moving blocked emotional waters, clearing psychic heaviness, and restoring clarity to the lower centers of the body.
In ritual practice, Ze Xie is used to flush stagnant energy, dissolve inner congestion, and aid in rites of cleansing, letting go, and lunar alignment. It’s a go-to herb when you feel bogged down by what you cannot name—energetic fog, emotional bloat, or unseen heaviness in the field.
