Frequently Asked Questions about Reed Extract
What is Reed (Phragmites australis / communis) stem extract?
Reed is a liquid extract of the dried stem of Phragmites australis (also widely listed under the older name Phragmites communis), the common reed or cane grass, of the Poaceae (grass) family. This tincture is extracted with organic alcohol. A note on parts and names: in traditional Chinese medicine the reed RHIZOME is known as Lu Gen, and the reed STEM is known as Lu Wei Jing; this product is made from the stem. Reed is regarded as a mild, food-grade herb. Please read the short safety note below.
What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same reed stem; only the solvent differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method that yields a concentrated extract with a long shelf life. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water instead, for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. Choose the tincture for a traditional alcohol-extracted format; choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol. The material inside is identical.
Is this Lu Gen, and is it the same as other "reeds"?
Two clarifications. First, plant part: the famous Chinese herb Lu Gen is specifically the reed RHIZOME, while this product is the reed STEM (traditionally called Lu Wei Jing); they come from the same plant but are different parts, so if you specifically want the rhizome, look for our Lu Gen listing. Second, other "reeds": this is Phragmites australis (the common reed), which is NOT the same as burr reed (Sparganium emersum) or San Leng / burreed (Scirpus fluviatilis) - those are different plants in different genera that we list separately. We label ours clearly as Phragmites so it is not confused with them.
How do I use Reed liquid extract?
Shake well first. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. Do not exceed the suggested serving. Because this is an alcohol tincture, adding it to water softens the taste. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light, and shake before each use.
Is Reed right for everyone? Safety information.
Reed (Phragmites) is a mild, food-grade herb with no known toxic components and a good safety record, but a few sensible notes apply. Traditional-medicine note: reed is a cooling herb, so long-term or excessive use may cause tiredness, reduced appetite or loose stools, and it is generally avoided by those with weak, cold digestion. Pregnancy and nursing: as a precaution do not use concentrated extract during pregnancy, and consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use if you are breastfeeding. Keep to the suggested serving. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not give it to infants or young children. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. This tincture contains alcohol and should be stored in a cool, dark place. Keep out of reach of children.

ETHICALLY SOURCED, NATURAL INGREDIENTS
Our Reed (Phragmites Communis) Stem is selected from regions with optimal growing conditions to support a high concentration of active constituents. We work only with trusted suppliers and focus on sourcing clean, well-preserved botanical material suitable for high-quality liquid extraction.

As a solvent, we use alcohol to preserve the integrity of the extract and support a clean extraction process.
To verify botanical identity and ensure consistency, all raw materials are tested in our laboratory using established analytical techniques. These include High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) for plant authentication and fingerprinting, or Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and other in-house methods. Our approach is guided by relevant standards such as those of the USP and Ph. Eur. and cGLP, allowing us to maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring the material meets our specifications for identity, purity and composition.
METICULOUS EXTRACT PREPARATION
Hawaii Pharm determines the optimal herb-to-menstruum ratio for each botanical. For alcohol-based extracts, we use a carefully balanced alcohol blend to ensure maximum extraction of active compounds while preserving the plant's natural integrity.
Our master herbalists analyze each batch and adjust extraction parameters as needed, ensuring consistent quality despite natural variations in botanical sources.
The result is a potent, stable liquid extract that captures the full spectrum of the botanical's benefits.
COMPREHENSIVE LABORATORY TESTING
Every batch undergoes multiple quality assurance tests including:
  • Organoleptic evaluation (color, consistency, aroma)
  • FTIR and/or HPTLC spectral analysis for identity confirmation
  • Microbiological testing (total plate count, E. coli, coliforms)
  • Yeast and mold screening
  • Alcohol content verification
  • Viscosity measurement
  • Refractometric analysis

Amazing delivery service. Arrived much earlier than expected which allows me to begin using it much faster than anticipated! Fantastic shipping. Secure shipping. Package was wrapped in a crushproof method which is perfect as the USPS tends to treat packages a bit rough. Great job!
