Typha Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Typha (Typha angustifolia) is the narrow-leaved cattail or lesser bulrush, a tall perennial of the cattail family, Typhaceae, native to marshes, pond margins and ditches across North America, Europe and Asia. It spreads by stout rhizomes into dense stands 1.5 to 3 meters tall, with narrow, flat, grey-green leaves about 1 cm wide and a stiff stem carrying the familiar dark brown, sausage-shaped female spike, with a gap separating it from the slender male spike above. The male flowers shed fine yellow pollen, known in China as pu huang. We extract the dried pollen.
