Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) Tincture, Dried Bark Liquid Extract

Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) Tincture, Dried Bark Liquid Extract

A single-herb liquid extract of dried bark of Cinnamomum cassia, cold-macerated in small batches and offered either as a traditional tincture in organic sugar-cane alcohol or as a vegetable glycerite.

What you get

• One herb, named to species. Nothing in the bottle but Cinnamomum cassia bark — the botanical name is printed on the label, so you always know which plant you bought.
• Cold maceration, never heated. The herb steeps at room temperature rather than being boiled or spray-dried, so the volatile and heat-sensitive fractions stay in the liquid.
• 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

Chinese Cassia or Chinese Cinnamon, is an evergreen tree originating in southern China, and widely cultivated in southern and eastern Asia. It is one of several species of Cinnamomum used primarily for their aromatic bark, which is used as a spice. The tree grows to 10–15 m tall, with greyish bark and hard, elongated leaves that are 10–15 cm long and have a decidedly reddish color when young. It is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in traditional Chinese medicine.
