Product Overview
Morinda Officinalis, also known as Ba Ji Tian in traditional Chinese medicine, is a perennial climbing plant belonging to the Rubiaceae family. Native to China and other parts of Southeast Asia, it grows primarily in subtropical and tropical regions, often found in forests, hillsides, or shaded areas. Its roots are the main part used for medicinal purposes.
In traditional medicine, Morinda Officinalis is highly regarded for its ability to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang energy, which is considered vital for vitality, reproductive health, and overall well-being.

The wild Morinda Officinalis does indeed have some distinct characteristics, such as a thicker root and more pronounced wrinkles. This appearance is due to its natural growth conditions, where it takes longer to mature and absorbs more nutrients from the environment. The rough surface and thicker root contribute to its stronger medicinal properties, particularly in terms of potency and effectiveness. In addition, because it is purely wild, it is naturally sulfur-free and free of pesticide residues.
Our Ba Ji Tian root core has been extracted making it much more convenient and practical for use.
