Tian San Qi (Panax Notoginseng) Root Tincture

Both are liquid extracts of the same Panax notoginseng root; only the solvent differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol at 48% by volume with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method that yields a super-concentrated extract with a long shelf life. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and crystal clear 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 botanical inside is identical.

Notoginseng is in the ginseng family but it is its own species, Panax notoginseng, and it is used differently from the classic ginsengs. It is not the same as Asian/Red Ginseng (Panax ginseng) or American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius, which we also sell as Xi Yang Shen). As for the names: Tian San Qi, San Qi, Tian Qi and notoginseng are all the same plant, Panax notoginseng - "San Qi" means "three-seven," a traditional name for this root. So if you have seen our San Qi / Notoginseng listing, it is the same herb as this one. We label each ginseng-family product by botanical name so there is no confusion between notoginseng, Asian ginseng, American ginseng and the related Araliaceae herbs (Devil's Club, Wu Jia Pi).

Shake well before use. 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. Because this is an alcohol tincture, adding it to a little water softens the taste. Do not exceed the suggested serving. Please read the safety information below carefully before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Please read this carefully. Notoginseng is low in acute toxicity as an herb, but it has a strong effect on blood clotting: it acts as an antiplatelet and anticoagulant, meaning it can slow clotting. Because of this: do NOT combine it with blood-thinning or antiplatelet medication such as warfarin or aspirin without medical supervision, as this can increase bleeding risk; do NOT use it before surgery (stop well in advance) or if you have a bleeding disorder; and do NOT use it during pregnancy or nursing. Excessive use may cause nausea, vomiting or nosebleed, so keep strictly to the suggested serving. If you take any medication or have any medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children. This tincture contains 48% alcohol by volume and should be stored in a cool, dark place. 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.
