Wei Jing, or Reed Rhizome (Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis), is a traditional Chinese medicine herb used to clear heat and resolve phlegm. It is specifically indicated for lung abscesses and conditions characterized by thick, yellow phlegm and fever.

Adults looking to address frequent infections, low immunity, slow recovery. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
