Quick-fried Rz. Zingiberis Pao Jiang is made by frying the herb until the surface is slightly blackened. It is bitter, astringent, and warm and enters the Liver and Spleen. It is less potent for warming the interior, but is effective in stopping bleeding associated with Deficiency Cold.
Pao Jiang , also known as Blast-fried Ginger Rhizome or Rhizoma Zingiberis Praeparatum, is a specially processed Chinese medicinal herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for warming the channels and stopping bleeding, particularly bleeding due to Deficiency Cold patterns.
Preparation Method
Pao Jiang is made by stir-frying dried ginger rhizome (Gan Jiang) until the surface is slightly blackened and the interior turns yellow-brown. This processing method moderates the herb's warming nature while enhancing its astringent properties.

Taste: Bitter, Astringent
Channels Entered: Spleen, Liver, Kidney
Primary Functions
- Warms the channels and stops bleeding, especially bleeding due to Deficiency Cold

Pao Jiang is traditionally used for:
- Bleeding due to Deficiency Cold, including uterine bleeding, bloody stools, and nosebleed

Key Clinical Notes
Pao Jiang is less potent than Gan Jiang for warming the interior, but more effective than Gan Jiang for stopping bleeding and treating lower abdominal disorders. The charring process enhances hemostatic properties while reducing the harsh, drying nature of the herb.
