Ningpo Figwort (Scrophularia ningpoensis) - Root, Liquid Extract Tincture

This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of the dried root of Scrophularia ningpoensis, a perennial plant of the Scrophulariaceae family. In traditional Chinese practice this root is known as Xuan Shen (Radix Scrophulariae), a cooling, yin-supporting herb used for around two thousand years.

  • Botanical name: Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsl. (Ningpo/Chinese figwort; Scrophulariaceae)
  • Plant part: Dried root
  • Also known as: Xuan Shen, Chinese figwort, Radix Scrophulariae
  • Extract type: Alcohol tincture (cold maceration in organic alcohol)
  • Other ingredients: Organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
  • Origin: Root responsibly sourced from China (Zhejiang); prepared in the USA. Gluten free.

This is Scrophularia ningpoensis (Xuan Shen). It is different from common Figwort (Scrophularia nodosa), a related European species whose above-ground herb is used rather than this Chinese root. Please read the safety notes below.

Important safety information - please read before use

Ningpo Figwort (Xuan Shen) contains plant compounds that act on the heart. Use only under the guidance of a qualified practitioner and do not exceed the suggested serving.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ningpo Figwort Extract
What is Ningpo Figwort (Scrophularia ningpoensis) root extract?
Ningpo Figwort is a liquid extract of the dried root of Scrophularia ningpoensis, a perennial plant of the Scrophulariaceae family. In traditional Chinese practice the root is known as Xuan Shen (Radix Scrophulariae), a cooling, yin-supporting herb used for around two thousand years. This tincture is cold-macerated in organic alcohol from root responsibly sourced from China (Zhejiang) and prepared in the USA. Please read the safety notes below.
What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Ningpo Figwort root; only the solvent differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol, the classic cold-maceration method that yields a more concentrated extract with a long shelf life. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water instead, for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The botanical inside is identical, and the same safety notes apply to both.
Is Ningpo Figwort the same as Xuan Shen or common Figwort?
Ningpo Figwort and Xuan Shen are two names for the very same herb - the root of Scrophularia ningpoensis. It is different, however, from common Figwort, which is Scrophularia nodosa, a related European species whose above-ground herb is used rather than the Chinese root. We label ours clearly as Scrophularia ningpoensis (Xuan Shen) so it is not confused with common figwort.
How do I use Ningpo Figwort liquid extract?
Shake well first. A typical amount is about 20 to 30 drops (approximately 1 ml) in 2 oz of water or juice, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Because this is an alcohol tincture, adding it to a little water softens the taste. Do not exceed the suggested serving - see the safety note about the heart below. This is best used under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. Read the safety information below before use.
Is Ningpo Figwort right for everyone? Safety information.
Please read this carefully. Ningpo Figwort (Xuan Shen) contains plant compounds that act on the heart: small amounts may gently support it, but larger amounts can depress heart function, so do not exceed the suggested serving and use caution if you have a heart condition. It may also lower blood sugar and blood pressure, so take care if you have diabetes, take blood-sugar or blood-pressure medication, or have low blood pressure. It is a cooling herb and may not suit people with weak or easily chilled digestion, poor appetite or loose stools. Do NOT use during pregnancy or while nursing. In traditional practice it is considered incompatible with the herb Li Lu (Veratrum), so tell your practitioner what you are taking. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children.

ETHICALLY SOURCED, NATURAL INGREDIENTS
Our Ningpo Figwort (Scrophularia Ningpoensis) Root is selected from regions with optimal growing conditions to support a high concentration of active constituents. We work only with trusted suppliers and focus on sourcing clean, well-preserved botanical material suitable for high-quality liquid extraction.

As a solvent, we use alcohol to preserve the integrity of the extract and support a clean extraction process.
To verify botanical identity and ensure consistency, all raw materials are tested in our laboratory using established analytical techniques. These include High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) for plant authentication and fingerprinting, or Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and other in-house methods. Our approach is guided by relevant standards such as those of the USP and Ph. Eur., ISO 17025 and cGLP, allowing us to maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring the material meets our specifications for identity, purity and composition.
METICULOUS EXTRACT PREPARATION
Hawaii Pharm determines the optimal herb-to-menstruum ratio for each botanical. For alcohol-based extracts, we use a carefully balanced alcohol blend to ensure maximum extraction of active compounds while preserving the plant's natural integrity.
Our master herbalists analyze each batch and adjust extraction parameters as needed, ensuring consistent quality despite natural variations in botanical sources.
The result is a potent, stable liquid extract that captures the full spectrum of the botanical's benefits.
COMPREHENSIVE LABORATORY TESTING
Every batch undergoes multiple quality assurance tests including:
  • Organoleptic evaluation (color, consistency, aroma)
  • FTIR and/or HPTLC spectral analysis for identity confirmation
  • Microbiological testing (total plate count, E. coli, coliforms)
  • Yeast and mold screening
  • Alcohol content verification
  • Viscosity measurement
  • Refractometric analysis
