Korean Atractylodes Ovata Root 5.25oz / 150g (백출)

Discover the grounding energy of Korean nature with Kosbee's Premium Atractylodes Ovata, known in Korea as Baek-chul (White Atractylodes). Carefully harvested and dried to preserve its natural essential oils, this root is a cornerstone of traditional Korean wellness ("Hanbang"). It is widely cherished for its mild, earthy aroma and its ability to support digestive comfort and daily vitality.

What is Baek-chul (White Atractylodes)?

Baek-chul is the prepared rhizome of the Atractylodes plant. Unlike its counterpart "Chang-chul" (which is often more drying), Baek-chul is traditionally prized for being gentle and nourishing. In traditional Korean culture, it is often called a "Qi tonic" for the stomach, believed to help settle the body and promote a healthy appetite. It naturally contains essential oils like atractylon, which give it a unique, woody fragrance.

Key Features

• Authentic Korean Origin: Sourced from high-quality farms in Korea, ensuring the correct species and traditional processing methods.
• 100% Natural Dried Root: No additives, preservatives, or artificial colors. Just the pure, sliced root ready for decoction.
• Wellness Support: Traditionally used to support digestive well-being, reduce feelings of heaviness, and boost general energy levels.

Flavor Profile

When brewed, Baek-chul tea offers a sweet, slightly bitter, and warm flavor profile. It is less harsh than other medicinal roots, making it a pleasant tea to consume after meals or during seasonal transitions when you want to feel grounded.

How to Prepare (Traditional Decoction)

Because this is a hard root, it requires boiling (decoction) rather than simple steeping to extract its full benefits.

Simple Tea Recipe

1. Rinse: Wash 20–30g (approx. a handful) of dried Baek-chul roots under running water.
2. Boil: Place roots in a pot with 1.5 to 2 liters of water.
3. Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30–40 minutes until the water reduces to about two-thirds.
4. Serve: Strain the roots. Enjoy the tea warm. You may add a touch of honey or jujubes (Korean dates) to soften the flavor.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once brewed, store the tea in the refrigerator and consume within 2–3 days.
