Important safety information - please read before use

Flixweed seed acts on the heart and has specific medication cautions - please read before use.

  • Heart-acting compounds: flixweed seed naturally contains cardiac glycosides, which act on the heart. Do NOT combine it with heart medications such as digoxin, and use caution if you have any heart-rhythm or heart condition - talk to your doctor first. Use it only short-term and not in large amounts.
  • Medication interactions: it can affect the enzymes and transporters (such as P-glycoprotein) that process many drugs, so it may interact with other medicines - if you take any medication, consult your practitioner first.
  • Pregnancy / nursing: do NOT use it during pregnancy, and consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use if you are breastfeeding.
  • Do not use it to self-treat breathing, fluid or heart problems - see a qualified doctor instead. Do not give it to infants or young children. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions about Flixweed Extract
What is Flixweed / Ting Li Zi (Descurainia sophia) seed extract?
Flixweed is a liquid extract of the dried seed of Descurainia sophia, a plant of the Brassicaceae (mustard) family, also called tansy mustard or herb sophia; the seed is used in traditional Chinese medicine as Ting Li Zi. This alcohol-free version is a vegetable-glycerin glycerite. Two things matter up front: this seed naturally contains cardiac glycosides (compounds that act on the heart), so it has an important heart-medication caution, and it is not for use in pregnancy - both covered in the safety notes. Also, "Ting Li Zi" actually comes from two different official plants; ours is the "southern" type (Descurainia sophia), while the "northern" type is a different plant (Lepidium apetalum) that we list separately.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Descurainia sophia seed; only the solvent differs. This alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, giving a milder carrier for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method that yields a concentrated extract with a long shelf life. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a traditional alcohol-extracted format. The seed inside is identical. Please follow the safety notes for both.
There are two "Ting Li Zi" - what is the difference?
Yes - this is a common point of confusion. The traditional Chinese medicine "Ting Li Zi" is officially prepared from two different plants: ours, Descurainia sophia, is the "Nan Ting Li" (southern flixweed type), and the other, Lepidium apetalum (pepperweed), is the "Bei Ting Li" (northern type), which we list separately as Ting Li Zi. They are different plants - even different genera in the mustard family - but both are used as Ting Li Zi. So a "Ting Li Zi" product may be either plant. We label ours clearly as flixweed (Descurainia sophia) so you know which one you have. Note also that Lepidium apetalum is not the same as Maca (Lepidium mayenii), another Lepidium we sell.
How do I use Flixweed 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. The alcohol-free glycerite has a milder carrier. Do not exceed the suggested serving, and do not use it long-term. Because this seed contains heart-acting compounds and has medication cautions, please read the safety information below before use, especially if you take heart medication. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Is Flixweed right for everyone? Safety information.
Please read this carefully. Heart-acting compounds: flixweed seed naturally contains cardiac glycosides, which act on the heart. Because of this, do NOT combine it with heart medications such as digoxin, and use caution if you have any heart-rhythm or heart condition - talk to your doctor first. This is also why it should be used short-term and not in large amounts. Medication interactions: it can affect the enzymes and transporters (such as P-glycoprotein) that process many drugs, so it may interact with other medicines - if you take any medication, consult your practitioner first. Pregnancy and nursing: do NOT use it during pregnancy, and consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use if you are breastfeeding. Do not use it to self-treat breathing, fluid or heart problems - see a qualified doctor instead. Do not give it to infants or young children. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children. Store as directed on the label.
