Frequently Asked Questions about Burr Reed Extract
What is Burr Reed (Sparganium emersum) rhizome extract?
Burr Reed is a liquid extract of the dried rhizome of Sparganium emersum, a bur-reed of the Typhaceae family. In traditional Chinese practice this rhizome is known as San Leng (Rhizoma Sparganii); the pharmacopoeial source is closely related Sparganium stoloniferum. This alcohol-free version is a vegetable-glycerin glycerite, cold-macerated from rhizome responsibly sourced from India and prepared in the USA. Please read the safety notes below carefully - this rhizome is not suitable for everyone.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same bur-reed rhizome; 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. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a traditional alcohol-extracted format. The botanical inside is identical. Please follow the safety notes for both.
Is this the same as your San Leng or Reed products?
They are related but not the same. This Burr Reed is Sparganium emersum, the bur-reed rhizome that is the classic source of San Leng (Rhizoma Sparganii). Our separately listed San Leng product is Scirpus fluviatilis (river bulrush, sometimes called Jing San Leng), a different plant of the sedge family used as a traditional substitute. And our Reed and Lu Gen products are Phragmites communis, the common reed - a completely different plant again. We label each clearly so they are not confused.
How do I use Burr Reed liquid extract?
Shake well first. 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. This alcohol-free glycerite has a milder taste and can be added to a cool drink. Do not exceed the suggested serving, and read the safety information below before use - this is a traditionally strong rhizome best used under professional guidance.
Is Burr Reed right for everyone? Safety information.
Please read this carefully. In traditional practice San Leng is a strong blood-moving rhizome, and there are firm cautions. Do NOT use during pregnancy - it may stimulate the uterus and animal studies have shown effects on fetal development. Do NOT use if you have a bleeding disorder or heavy menstrual bleeding, and if you take a blood thinner such as warfarin, talk to a qualified healthcare practitioner first. It is also traditionally avoided in people who are weak, anaemic or without the pattern it is meant for, so it is best used under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. If you are nursing or take any medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep to the suggested serving and keep out of reach of children. Store as directed on the label.
