Amur Cork Tree Tincture (1:4)

Phellodendron amurense Tincture made from the bark of the tree

What is the Amur Cork Tree?

Did you know that the Amur cork tree is one of the 50 most important medicinal plants in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)? Despite this, the deciduous tree from the citrus family is still relatively unknown in Europe, although it is now also used here for landscaping purposes. Originally, the Amur cork tree comes from East Asia and can be found in China, Mongolia, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Russia. Under optimal conditions, it can reach up to 25 meters in height and a trunk diameter of 100 centimeters. It requires ample sunlight and deep, moist soil. Not only is the trunk impressive, but the greyish bark also stands out — it’s extremely thick and rich in cork. During the growth phase, the cork layer cracks deeply, but the tree is unharmed because it continuously regenerates the cork tissue.

To produce our tincture, we follow the knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We use only the bark of the Amur cork tree, which is selected according to strict quality standards, carefully dried, finely ground, and extracted with alcohol. The result is a tincture that meets our high standards of quality.

One of the Top 50 Herbs in TCM

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the bark of the Amur cork tree is considered to dry dampness and clear heat. It is associated with the organ systems of the large intestine, kidneys, and bladder and is used for imbalances in those areas. It is also applied in cases of skin and liver problems, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and joint cartilage disorders. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, are also familiar with the properties of this tree and traditionally use the bark to relieve pain.

Phellodendron amurense contains valuable plant compounds such as:
Alkaloids, secondary plant substances, berberine, jatrorrhizine, and palmatine.
