Lotus Leaf (he ye, 荷叶), or Folium Nelumninis, is the dried leaves of the Lotus, a perennial aquatic plant found in Asia and the Middle East, with large green leaves and vibrant white flowers. Harvested in Summer and Autumn, it is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to address occasional swelling conditions. With a neutral nature and bitter taste, Lotus Leaf promotes cleansing by clearing heat, drying dampness, and targeting the liver, spleen, and stomach, facilitating elimination through urination or bowel movements.
