Atractylode is a plant grown throughout Asia. It has been used for centuries by traditional Chinese medicine because of the digestive properties of its cooked rhizome (chao bai zhu).

Bai zhu promotes digestion and acts on gastrointestinal discomfort by stimulating transit without irritating the intestines. Thus, Bai zhu is ideal to find a healthy intestinal transit. In addition, it relieves urinary retention by promoting urination.
