Indian Star Alcohol-free Tincture (1:4)

Indian Star (Uncaria rhynchophylla, also known as Gouteng) Tincture – made from ground leaves and fruits

What is Indian Star (Uncaria rhynchophylla)?

The "Indian Star," also known as Uncaria rhynchophylla, may at first glance appear somewhat prehistoric, but Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long recognized the true value of this plant. Botanically, it belongs to the family of Uncaria lianas and is mainly known in Japan and China under the name Gouteng. This climbing plant prefers dense thickets to wind its way up trees.

In TCM, the grasping organs of Indian Star, with which it clings to trees, play a decisive role. That is why we use exclusively these claws for the production of our products. We rely on 100% natural and 0% chemical ingredients, with all raw materials coming from valuable organic cultivation.

Traditional use and new findings

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses Indian Star to calm liver heat and regulate wind. According to TCM, a disturbance of liver energy manifests as inner restlessness, irritability, and insomnia. An excess of wind may cause increased mucus production. When this mucus accumulates in the nerves, it may, in the long term, lead to nerve damage – according to Chinese folk medicine.

In the Western world, Indian Star is gaining increasing importance. Its rising recognition is thanks to Stephen Harrod Buhner, who in his book "Healing Lyme Naturally" highlighted its protective and beneficial properties in connection with neuroborreliosis. According to Buhner, Indian Star possesses anti-inflammatory properties at the neurological level.

Indian Star contains valuable constituents such as hirsutine, hirsuteine, rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, isocorynoxine, tannins, and flavonoids.
