Si Gua Luo is the fibrous inner skeleton of the mature sponge gourd, also known as loofah. Once harvested and dried, the fruit takes on a mesh-like appearance, making it unique among herbal ingredients. Its soft yet resilient texture is traditionally favoured in classical formulas for its dispersing qualities.
Often included in traditional blends, Si Gua Luo is used where free movement in the body is sought, particularly in the limbs or chest area. It is especially noted for its association with the smooth flow of internal pathways, in both topical and internal applications.
