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 alcohol-free version is a vegetable-glycerin glycerite. 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 alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same reed stem; only the solvent differs. This alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, giving a milder carrier for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method that yields a 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 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. This alcohol-free glycerite has a mild taste and suits those who prefer no alcohol. 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. Store as directed on the label. Keep out of reach of children. 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.
