How Is This Tincture Made?
HerbalTerra uses a time-honoured maceration technique to ensure optimal extraction. The dried bark is ground into a fine powder and then steeped in a menstruum of purified water and organic alcohol. This mixture is allowed to sit for several weeks, with periodic agitation to maximise the release of active constituents. The resulting liquid is then pressed and filtered to remove plant material. The extract is concentrated to a ratio of 1:3 (one part dry herb to three parts menstruum), yielding a potent tincture where 1 ml equals approximately 330 mg of dried bark powder. This careful process ensures that the full spectrum of the herb's compounds—from water-soluble vitamins to fat-soluble alkaloids—are preserved.
What Is Huang Bo (Phellodendron Chinense)?
Huang Bo, also known as Amur Cork Tree, is a deciduous tree native to China, Japan, and other parts of East Asia. Its bark, particularly the inner yellow layer, has been a staple in traditional Chinese herbalism for centuries. The name 'Huang Bo' translates to 'yellow bark,' referring to its distinctive colour. The bark contains a variety of bioactive compounds, including berberine, palmatine, and other alkaloids, as well as flavonoids and phenolic acids. HerbalTerra's tincture is designed to capture these compounds in a convenient, concentrated liquid form.
Why Choose a Liquid Extract?
Liquid extracts offer several advantages over dried herbs or capsules. The liquid form is readily absorbed by the body, allowing for faster onset of action. Tinctures are also highly customisable; you can easily adjust the dose by adding more or fewer drops. Additionally, the extraction process concentrates the beneficial compounds, meaning you can achieve the desired intake with a smaller volume. For those who have difficulty swallowing pills, a tincture is an excellent alternative.
How to Uses Huang Bo Tincture
As a dietary supplement, adults can take 15-30 drops (approximately 0.5-1 ml) up to three times daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner. To uses, simply add the desired number of drops to a glass of water, juice, or tea. Shake the bottle well before each uses to ensure consistency. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required but may prolong freshness.
