Xian Mao Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Xian Mao (Curculigo orchioides) is the golden eye-grass, a small stemless perennial of the hypoxis family, Hypoxidaceae, native to southern China, India, Japan and Southeast Asia, where it grows in grassy slopes, forest margins and the shade of hillside scrub. It forms a tuft of narrow, grass-like, pleated leaves 10 to 40 cm long that emerge directly from a short vertical rhizome, with small bright yellow, six-petaled flowers nestled at ground level among the leaf bases. The cylindrical rhizome is dark brown, rough and ringed. We extract the dried root.
