The term “Juan” means “rolled” or “curled,” referring to the physical form of the bark rather than a distinct species or plant part. When dried, the thinner, more pliable root and branch bark naturally curls into tight tubes or quills, similar in appearance to cinnamon quills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTCM Herb Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuan Hou Po promotes the movement of qi in the middle burner and resolves stagnation. It promotes the movement of qi downward, dries dampness, and transforms phlegm. It also directs qi downward, reduces phlegm, and calms wheezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuality and Grading\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, Juan Hou Po is considered the higher-quality form of Hou Po. The rolled root bark tends to have a more potent aroma, a stronger and more pungent taste, and a higher concentration of active constituents, particularly magnolol and honokiol. It also tends to have less of the outer cork layer, meaning a greater proportion of the active inner bark is present in the finished material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat trunk bark of Magnolia officinalis is also used clinically, but is considered a step down in terms of potency and refinement compared to Juan Hou Po. When a formula calls for high-grade Hou Po, or when a more potent preparation is desired, Juan Hou Po is the preferred choice. It is the form most commonly specified in classical texts when quality is emphasized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnolia Bark (curled cut)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:1\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrid; Bitter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProperties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannels Entered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large Intestine; Lung; Spleen; Stomach\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Promotes the movement of qi in the middle burner and resolves stagnation; Promotes the movement of qi downward, dries dampness, and transforms phlegm; Directs qi downward, reduces phlegm, and calms wheezing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Qi stagnation affecting the Spleen and Stomach; Food stagnation; Dampness and phlegm obstructing the middle burner affecting the qi dynamic; Cough and wheezing from phlegm clogging the Lungs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Symptomology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chest and\/or abdominal distention and fullness; Distention; Fullness; Nausea; Diarrhea; Cough and Wheezing from phlegm clogging the Lungs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMateria Medica:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transform Dampness\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContraindications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use with caution during pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuan Hou Po -Magnolia officinalis; Cortex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NuHerbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459688743068,"sku":"NH204A","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/2407\/0044\/files\/juan-hou-po-magnolia-nuherbs.png?v=1787457225","url":"https:\/\/primenaturalfoods.ca\/fr\/products\/juan-hou-po-1lb","provider":"Prime Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
