Nine-rind orange

Ingredient Profile

Chinese Name九里香
PinyinJiu Li Xiang

Modern Research Perspective

Nine-rind orange contains flavonoids, coumarins, volatile oils, and other constituents. Cell and animal studies have explored antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and gastrointestinal mechanisms, but data are limited and preparation-dependent.

Human clinical evidence is insufficient to establish efficacy. Allergy, photosensitivity, interactions, dose, pregnancy, and long-term safety require further study.

Traditional Function

Nine-rind Orange is used in regional traditional practice to regulate qi, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and address digestive or inflammatory patterns. Species authentication is essential because common names may refer to different Citrus materials.
