Yin Chen Hao Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Yin Chen Hao (Artemisia capillaris) is the capillary wormwood, a semi-shrubby perennial of the daisy family, Asteraceae, native to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, where it grows on riverbanks, sandy flats, roadsides and hillsides. It forms clumps 40 to 100 cm tall with woody lower stems and soft, grey-green upper growth of hair-fine, thread-like leaf segments that give the species its name. Loose panicles of tiny, nodding, yellowish flower heads appear in late summer. The young spring shoots, pale and downy, are the traditional harvest and carry a sharp aromatic scent. We extract the dried herb.
