Sun Ten Mo Han Lian | Ecliptae | 墨旱蓮 / Default Title

Mo Han Lian (Ecliptae) by Sun Ten

Mo Han Lian translates roughly to "ink marsh lotus," named because the crushed plant releases a dark juice that stains like ink. People used to write with this stuff. Now it comes in a jar and you just take it like a normal supplement, which is less exciting but a lot less messy.

This is Eclipta prostrata, sometimes labeled false daisy, a plant that has shown up in traditional wellness practices for a very long time, mostly in conversations about hair, liver function, and what practitioners call "kidney and liver nourishment." Sun Ten processes it into a concentrated granule extract, so instead of boiling a pot of herbs on your stove like it's 1400, you dissolve a scoop in warm water and move on with your day. The plant did the hard part already. You're just rehydrating its life choices.

What It's Traditionally Used For

• Supports healthy hair vitality and a nourished scalp
• Traditionally used to support liver and kidney health
• Supports the body's natural balance as part of an overall wellness routine
• Contributes to normal hair color maintenance as part of a healthy lifestyle

None of this is a promise that you'll wake up looking like a shampoo commercial. It's an herb, not a time machine. What it does is support functions your body is already doing on its own, quietly, in the background, the way your kidneys have been filtering things since before you knew what kidneys were for.

Why Sun Ten

Sun Ten has been making standardized granule extracts for decades, using a process that concentrates the herb without demanding you own a mortar and pestle or a working knowledge of ancient decoction ratios. Each batch is manufactured under strict quality control, which matters more than people think, because an herb is only as good as the company that didn't cut corners making it. This one dissolves easily, has a mild taste that will not surprise you in a good way, and fits into a normal daily routine without requiring a whole lifestyle overhaul.

If you're already interested in traditional Chinese herbal formulas, or you just like knowing your supplements have a backstory that predates your grandparents, Mo Han Lian is a straightforward way to add a well-documented herb into your daily wellness routine. No ink required.
