Description
Product description Japanese Knotweed
Latin name: Polygonum cuspidatum. Also known by the English name: Japanese Knotweed. In Chinese herbal medicine as Hu Zhang.
Japanese knotweed has a long history in traditional medicine, especially in Asian countries such as China and Japan. There are historical references to the use of the plant in ancient medical texts from Asia, such as the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, a classic Chinese medical book dating from the Han Dynasty (206 v.Chr. - 220 n.Chr. ).
Although the plant was originally used in traditional medicine, there are also modern studies investigating the benefits of Japanese knotweed. Japanese knotweed is also one of the herbs in the Buhner protocol.
Plant description
Japanese knotweed is a bamboo-like plant that can grow up to three meters tall. Its most striking features are the reddish stems and heart-shaped leaves. The plant's strength lies in its rhizome, which can grow not only deep but also wide, making the plant difficult to eradicate. A small rhizome possesses sufficient primal power to sprout into a new plant.
The power of the root is reflected in this product, which consists of naturally dried and finely chopped pieces of Japanese Knotweed root.
