Mexican Tarragon (Tagetes lucida) - Stems and Flowers, Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract

This is an alcohol-free (glycerite) liquid extract of the dried stems and flowers of Tagetes lucida (Mexican tarragon / Mexican mint marigold / sweet mace, Asteraceae family; historically called Yauhtli).

  • Botanical name: Tagetes lucida Cav.
  • Plant part: Dried stems and flowers
  • Extract type: Alcohol-free vegetable-glycerin glycerite
  • Other ingredients: Vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
  • Gluten free. Suggested use: 20-30 drops in 2 oz water, short-term only

This is Tagetes lucida - a different plant from true/French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) and from pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) and garden marigolds (Tagetes erecta/patula), which are separate. Please read the safety notes below.

Important safety information - please read before use

Contains estragole and methyleugenol. The essential oil of Tagetes lucida is naturally rich in estragole and methyleugenol, aromatic compounds that in high-dose laboratory studies are genotoxic and carcinogenic (the same chemical family as safrole). Health authorities advise keeping intake as low as practically achievable.

  • Use only in small amounts and only short-term. Keep strictly to the suggested serving; do not use continuously.
  • Not for psychoactive use. This plant has a history of ritual/psychoactive use; we do not sell it for that purpose, and it should not be used to seek psychoactive effects.
  • Allergy: it is in the daisy/ragweed (Asteraceae) family - avoid if you are allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums or marigolds. In larger amounts it can irritate the stomach and skin.
  • Interactions: may add to sedatives, other calming medicines, or blood thinners - consult your practitioner if you take these.
  • Do NOT use during pregnancy or while nursing. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mexican Tarragon Extract
What is Mexican Tarragon (Tagetes lucida) extract?
Mexican Tarragon is a liquid extract of the dried stems and flowers of Tagetes lucida, a plant of the Asteraceae (daisy) family native to Central America, also known as Mexican mint marigold, sweet mace, Texas tarragon and, historically, Yauhtli. It is often used as a substitute for French tarragon because of its similar anise-tarragon flavor. This alcohol-free version is a vegetable-glycerin glycerite, taken by the drop. Two important points: this is Tagetes lucida, a different plant from true or French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) and from pot marigold (Calendula officinalis); and this plant naturally contains estragole and methyleugenol, aromatic compounds that carry safety cautions. Please read the safety notes below carefully before use.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Tagetes lucida stems and flowers; only the solvent differs. This alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and crystal clear water, giving it a milder taste that suits those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method that yields a super-concentrated extract with a long shelf life. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a traditional alcohol-extracted format. The botanical inside is identical. Please follow the safety notes for both.
How is Mexican tarragon different from true tarragon and marigold?
Several plants share these names, so it is worth being clear. Mexican tarragon is Tagetes lucida - our product - used as a tarragon substitute for its anise-like flavor. True or French tarragon is a different plant, Artemisia dracunculus, which we sell separately; interestingly, both contain estragole. "Marigold" is even more confusing: pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) is a different genus entirely, and the common garden marigolds are other Tagetes species (Tagetes erecta and patula). We label ours clearly as Tagetes lucida so it is not mixed up. One more note: although Tagetes lucida has a history of ritual use (the Aztec name Yauhtli), we sell it strictly as a botanical extract, not for any psychoactive purpose - please see the safety section.
How do I use Mexican Tarragon liquid extract?
Shake well before use. The suggested serving for adults is 20 to 30 drops (approximately 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper) in 2 oz of water or juice, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Because it is alcohol free, this glycerite can be taken directly or added to a cool drink. Do not exceed the suggested serving, and use it only short-term. Please read the safety information below before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Is Mexican Tarragon right for everyone? Safety information.
Please read this carefully. Tagetes lucida naturally contains estragole and methyleugenol - aromatic compounds that, in laboratory studies at high doses, are genotoxic and carcinogenic (they belong to the same chemical family as safrole), and health authorities advise keeping intake as low as practically achievable. For this reason, use this product only in small amounts and only short-term, and do not use it continuously. This plant also has a history of ritual/psychoactive use; we do not sell it for that purpose, and it should not be used to try to achieve psychoactive effects. A few more cautions: in larger amounts it can irritate the stomach and, on contact, the skin; because it is in the daisy/ragweed family, avoid it if you are allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums or marigolds; and it may add to the effect of sedatives, other calming medications, or blood thinners, so consult your practitioner if you take these. Do NOT use during pregnancy or while nursing. Keep to the suggested serving and do not exceed it. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children. This alcohol-free glycerite is best refrigerated after opening. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
