Red Sage Root (Salvia miltiorrhiza, Dan Shen) pressed tablets made from the roots

What is Red Sage Root (Salvia miltiorrhiza)?

With its orchid-like purple flowers and peppermint-like leaves, Red Sage Root is a true eye-catcher. Yet the real treasure of this traditional medicinal plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae) lies hidden underground. Deep in the soil rests the thick, deep-red root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which plays a major role in its native regions of China and Japan.

This perennial herb prefers riverbanks and forested areas. When growing conditions are met, Red Sage can reach a height of up to 80 cm.

For the production of our tablets, we follow the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and use only the deep-red roots. These are harvested under strict quality standards, carefully dried, and finely ground before being gently pressed into tablets.

One of the most important medicinal plants in TCM

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Red Sage Root holds a special position. Many Eastern doctors and healers even regard it as a universal remedy. This is mainly due to its broad applications in TCM and its long-standing tradition. Classified as slightly cooling and bitter, Red Sage Root is associated with the heart and liver meridians. It is mainly used to support the heart, liver, metabolism, and circulation. In Chinese folk medicine, it is also applied for joint pain, menstrual problems, coughs, and colds. Herbalist Stephen Harrod Buhner describes the plant as having “antioxidative and antibacterial effects” and recommends its use in Lyme disease and related co-infections.

Red Sage Root contains valuable compounds such as triterpenes, diterpenes (tanshinones and isotanshinones), flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, tannins, steroids, lignans, and quinones.

Recommended Use

Notes

Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place, protected from heat, and always keep out of reach of children. The recommended daily intake should not be exceeded.

Important: This product is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for children! Otherwise, no significant side effects are known: as mentioned, in many regions of Asia the plant is also eaten raw or cooked. While the somewhat fish-like taste (which may be considered unpleasant locally) does not appear to cause gastrointestinal issues there, individual tolerance may vary.
