Restharrow Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Restharrow (Ononis spinosa) is spiny restharrow, a low woody perennial of the legume family, Fabaceae, native to Europe, western Asia and North Africa, where it grows on dry grassland, chalk downs and roadsides. It forms a tangled bush 30 to 60 cm tall with spiny branches, small trifoliate leaves with toothed leaflets and solitary pink pea-like flowers in the upper leaf axils through summer. The long, tough, woody roots run deep and once fouled the harrow, which gave the plant its English name. We extract the dried root.
