About the plant

Dictamnus dasycarpus is a perennial of the citrus family (Rutaceae) from the grasslands and open woods of northern China, Korea and the Russian Far East. It grows to about a metre, with pinnate leaves dotted with oil glands and spikes of pale pink to white flowers veined in purple; on hot days the plant gives off a volatile, lemon-scented oil, which is why its European relative is called gas plant or burning bush. In Chinese tradition the root bark, Bai Xian Pi, is peeled from the woody core and dried in rolls; it has a characteristic mutton-like smell and has been used mainly in washes and preparations applied to the skin.

Suggested use

External use only, for adults. Shake well before use. Apply a small amount directly to clean, intact skin with a fingertip or a cotton pad. You can also add it to a cream or oil of your own — shake before each use, as the extract does not dissolve in oil. Patch-test on a small area first and wait 24 hours before wider use. Wash hands after use.

Warnings

For external use only. Do not take internally. Taken by mouth, Bai Xian Pi has been linked to liver injury, including cases of hepatitis. Do not swallow, and do not use on large areas of skin or for long periods. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes. Not for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Keep out of reach of children. Not for use on broken skin, open wounds or damaged skin. Discontinue use if irritation, redness or a rash develops. Do not use if the tamper seal is broken or missing. Store tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
