Atractylodes slices are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM. Known to the scientific community as atractylodis macrocephalae, these sliced organic herbs resemble some kind of wild mushroom, but are in fact a form of whole natural herbs that are derived from the roots of a plant which grows in the mountain valleys of northern China, Manchuria, Korea and Japan. Practitioners of TCM associate atractylodis macrocephalae with qi, or "life-force," the closest Western equivalent of which would be the immune system. In the traditional Chinese system of medicine, atractylodes-slices are considered "warm" and "dry" (in the sense that it is said to remove “excess dampness” from the digestive and intestinal tract), and is therefore one of the “yin” herbs. - Origin: China
