Qian Hu Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Qian Hu (Peucedanum praeruptorum) is a perennial of the carrot family, Apiaceae, native to central and eastern China, where it grows on sunny hillsides, cliff ledges and grassy slopes. It reaches 60 to 100 cm with a stout, ridged stem, finely divided ternate-pinnate leaves with long sheathing stalks, and compound umbels of small white flowers in late summer. The fruit is flattened with winged ribs. The taproot is conical, dark brown and wrinkled, with a fragrant, slightly bitter cut surface. We extract the dried root.
