Tian Ma, Gastrodia (Gastrodia Elata) Tincture, Dried Tuber Liquid Extract (HerbalTerra) 4x4 fl.oz (4x120 ml)

How This Tincture Is Made

HerbalTerra employs a classic maceration method to produce this Tian Ma tincture. Maceration involves steeping the dried tuber powder in a menstruum (typically a mixture of water and alcohol) over several weeks. This slow, gentle process allows the solvent to pull out a broad spectrum of active constituents: alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, and other plant compounds. The result is a concentrated liquid extract that retains the herb's natural complexity.

Each batch is produced under strict quality standards. The extraction ratio is 1:3 (dry plant material to menstruum), meaning that 1 ml of extract represents approximately 330 mg of dried herb. This concentration offers a potent yet manageable dosage.

What Is Tian Ma (Gastrodia Elata)?

Tian Ma, known botanically as Gastrodia elata, is a revered herb in traditional Chinese herbalism. This orchid species has been used for centuries as a tonic for the nervous system and to promote overall balance. The dried tuber of the plant is the part most commonly prepared as a tincture or powder. Modern herbal enthusiasts appreciate Tian Ma for its potential to support healthy neurological function and stress response.*

This particular extract is crafted from carefully sourced dried tuber powder, ensuring that the full profile of beneficial compounds is preserved.

How to Uses and Store This Tincture

As a dietary supplement, take a few drops (typically 15–30 drops) in water or juice once or twice daily, or as directed by a health care professional. Shake well before uses. Since individual needs vary, start with a lower dose and gradually increase if desired. Because tinctures are absorbed quickly, many users prefer taking them between meals for optimal absorption.

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tincture be taken with other supplements?

Generally, herbal tinctures can be combined with other supplements, but it is wise to consult a health care professional to avoid potential interactions. Because Tian Ma is traditionally used for neurological support, those taking medications for similar purposes should exercise caution.

How long does one bottle last?

Each 120 ml bottle contains approximately 120 servings if taken at 1 ml per serving. The 4-pack thus provides about 480 servings, depending on individual dosage.

Is the alcohol content a concern?

This tincture contains alcohol as the menstruum. The amount per serving is small (typically less than 1 ml), but those avoiding alcohol entirely may prefer other forms. However, the extraction efficiency of alcohol is necessary to capture the full range of constituents.
