Description
Product Description Japanese Knotweed Tincture
Latin name: Polygonum cuspidatum. Also known by the English name: Japanese Knotweed. In Chinese herbal medicine as Hu Zhang.
Japanese knotweed has a long history in traditional medicine, especially in Asian countries such as China and Japan. There are historical references to the plant's use in ancient medical texts from Asia, such as the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, a classical Chinese medical book dating back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD).
Although the plant was originally used in traditional medicine, there are also modern studies investigating the benefits of Japanese knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is also one of the herbs in the Buhner protocol.
Botany
DThe Japanese knotweed is a bamboo-like plant that can grow up to three meters high. The most striking features are the reddish stems and the heart-shaped leaves. The power of the plant lies in the rhizome, which can grow not only deep but also wide, making the plant difficult to combat. A small rhizome has enough primal power to blossom into a new plant.
