Semiaquilegia Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Semiaquilegia (Semiaquilegia adoxoides) is a delicate perennial of the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae, native to China, Japan and Korea, where it grows in moist grassy places, along field margins and on shaded banks. It rises 10 to 30 cm from a small dark tuber, with slender stems, deeply divided, three-lobed leaves resembling those of its relative columbine, and small nodding white flowers tinged purple on the outside in early spring. The tubers, round to oval and about 1 to 2 cm long, are known in China as tian kui zi. We extract the dried tuber.
