Frequently Asked Questions about Buchu Extract
What is Buchu (Agathosma betulina)?
Buchu is a small aromatic shrub native to the Cape region of South Africa, botanically Agathosma betulina and formerly classified as Barosma betulina. It belongs to the Rutaceae, the same botanical family as citrus, and its dried leaves carry a distinctive scent often compared to blackcurrant. The specific plant used here is the round-leaf or short buchu, Agathosma betulina, which is the traditionally preferred type. This product is made from the dried LEAF, offered in two liquid forms - an alcohol-free glycerite and a traditional alcohol-based tincture - each from ethically sourced raw material. It is a whole-leaf liquid extract that carries the leaf's natural spectrum of constituents, not an isolated compound and not the concentrated essential oil, and we label it clearly by botanical name and plant part. Please read the important safety note below before use, as buchu is not suitable for everyone.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Agathosma betulina leaf; only the solvent differs. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, suited to those who avoid alcohol. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, with vegetable glycerin and water. Both deliver the leaf's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life. See the safety note below.
Is this the same as buchu essential oil, and which species is it?
No, and both points are worth clarifying. First, this is a leaf extract, not buchu essential oil. Buchu oil is a highly concentrated aromatic oil used in flavor and fragrance work, and it is very rich in a compound called pulegone; our product is instead a whole-leaf liquid extract taken by the drop, not the concentrated oil. Second, the species: there are two commercial buchus. Ours is round-leaf buchu, Agathosma betulina, also called short buchu, which is the traditionally preferred type. It is different from oval-leaf or long-leaf buchu, Agathosma crenulata, which contains much more pulegone and is generally regarded as a lower grade. You may also see the old botanical name Barosma betulina, which is simply a synonym for Agathosma betulina. We label our product clearly by botanical name and plant part so there is no confusion with the oil or with the other species.
How do I use Buchu liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. Do not exceed the suggested serving. Please read the important safety note below before use. Drink the entire contents.
Is Buchu extract right for everyone? Important safety information.
Please read this carefully, because buchu has some important safety considerations. Do not use buchu during pregnancy, because it has traditionally been used to stimulate the uterus and is not considered safe in pregnancy; avoid it while breastfeeding as well. Buchu leaf naturally contains an aromatic compound called pulegone, which can stress the liver in large amounts, so do not exceed the suggested serving, and do not use buchu if you have liver disease. Buchu can also act as an irritating diuretic, so use caution if you have kidney disease or kidney inflammation. If you take any medication, especially diuretics or lithium, or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children and do not give to children. Discontinue use and consult your practitioner if any adverse reaction occurs.
