What is the oyster of traditional Chinese medicine? Is it oyster shell or meat?
There are two kinds of oysters in traditional Chinese medicine, one is raw oyster and the other is calcined oyster.

Oysters are raw oyster shells, and calcined oysters are oyster shells calcined with fire.

Oyster has the functions of calming the liver and suppressing yang, softening and resolving hard mass, and astringing.

The astringency of calcined oysters is stronger than that of raw oysters.
