Description
Product description Japanese Knotweed
Latin name: Polygonum cuspidatum. Also known by its English name: Japanese Knotweed. Known in Chinese herbal medicine as Hu Zhang.
Japanese knotweed has a long history in traditional medicine, particularly in Asian countries such as China and Japan. Historical references to the plant's use can be found in ancient Asian medical texts, such as the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, a classical Chinese medical book dating back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC). 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 its reddish stems and heart-shaped leaves. The plant's strength lies in its rhizome, which can grow not only deep but also wide, making it difficult to control. A small rhizome has enough primal power to rebloom into a new plant.
The power of the root can be found in this product, which consists of naturally dried and finely chopped pieces of Japanese Knotweed root.
