Red Sage Root Tincture (1:4)

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

What is Red Sage Root?

With its orchid-like purple blossoms and peppermint-like leaves, Red Sage Root is a true feast for the eyes. But the real treasure of this traditional medicinal plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae) is hidden underground. Deep in the soil lies the thick, deep-red root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which plays an especially important role in its native regions of China and Japan.

This perennial herb prefers riverbanks and forested areas as its habitat. When its location requirements are met, Red Sage Root can reach a height of up to 80 cm.

For the production of our tincture, 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, finely milled, and then gently extracted with alcohol to preserve their full range of valuable compounds.

One of the most important medicinal plants in TCM

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Red Sage Root holds a special place. Many Eastern physicians and therapists even consider it a universal remedy, thanks to its wide range of applications and long-standing tradition. Classified as slightly cooling and bitter, it is associated with the heart and liver meridians. Accordingly, Red Sage is mainly used to support the heart, liver, metabolism, and circulation. In Chinese folk medicine, it is also valued for joint pain, menstrual discomfort, coughs, and colds. Herbal expert Stephen Harrod Buhner attributes antioxidant and antibacterial properties to this plant and recommends Red Sage for Lyme disease and its co-infections.

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