What you get

• One herb, named to species. Nothing in the bottle but Jateorhiza palmata roots — the botanical name is printed on the label, so you always know which plant you bought.
• Precision temperature-controlled extraction. Extracted under strict temperature-controlled conditions to protect delicate, heat-sensitive compounds from thermal degradation and preserve the natural full-spectrum profile.
• Your choice of menstruum. Organic sugar-cane alcohol for a traditional tincture, or a vegetable glycerin extract with no ethanol in it.
• Ethically wild-harvested or sustainably sourced. Wild material is bought from harvesters who work stands on rotation rather than stripping them.
• Nothing else added. No added sugar, no artificial colours, preservatives or fragrances. Non-GMO and gluten-free.
• Made in the USA in an FDA-registered facility.
• Sizes from 2 fl oz to 2 gallons, including multi-packs — the same extract whether you are trying it or restocking.

About the plant

Jateorhiza palmata (Calumba) is a perennial climbing plant from East Africa. Tall, dioecious twining perennial vine; often reaching the tops of trees. The annual stems, one or two from each root, are hair with glandular tips and have large bright green membranous leaves which are palmate, alternate and long petioled. The flowers are insignificant and greenish white. The female flower is followed by moon-shaped stone in a drupe. The tuberous root is large and fleshy, about 3–8 centimetres (1.2–3.1 in) in diameter with a thick bark. Transverse section yellowish, outside greyish brown. Taste is muscilagenous and very bitter.
