This listing is for one bottle of woad root and leaf extract. (Isatis Tinctoria). The roots and leaves were freshly dried to remove digestive irritants.
It was made as a 1:3 decoction of freshly dried spring roots and leaves that were decocted and stabilized at 30% with certified organic cane alcohol. Root & leaf extracts are combines 50/50.
Woad roots have been used in Chinese Medicine as the name, Ban Lan Gen, for thousands of years.
*We also sell just Woad leaf extract, available under the name Da Qing Ye.
