Jin Qiao Mai Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Jin Qiao Mai (Fagopyrum dibotrys), the golden or perennial buckwheat, is a perennial of the knotweed family, Polygonaceae, native to southern China, the Himalaya and northern Indochina. It grows 50-100 cm tall with hollow, red-tinged stems, heart-shaped to triangular leaves and loose clusters of small white flowers, followed by sharp, three-angled seeds like those of cultivated buckwheat. The knobby, woody rhizome is red-brown outside and pale pink inside with a bitter, astringent taste. We extract the dried rhizome.
