Ningpo Figwort (Scrophularia ningpoensis) - Root, Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract

This is an alcohol-free glycerite (drops) 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

  • Extract type: Alcohol-free glycerite (vegetable glycerin), cold-macerated
  • Other ingredients: 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.

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 alcohol-free version is a vegetable-glycerin glycerite, cold-macerated from root responsibly sourced from China (Zhejiang) and prepared in the USA. Please read the safety notes below.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Ningpo Figwort root; only the solvent differs. This alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, giving it a milder taste that suits those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The tincture uses organic alcohol, the classic cold-maceration method that yields a more concentrated extract. 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. 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.
