Product Description
This product is the extract of wild-crafted Cistanche deserticola. It is a powerful Yang tonic made from a very rare herb. It is a tincture that you may consume straight into your mouth, or you may add to water or a blended drink or smoothie. From an herbal point of view, this is one of the most delicious and “consumable”“Drops” we have ever produced. It is rich, smooth, delicious, and simultaneously potent and delicate. Cistanche deserticola is a rare and precious tonic herb from the remote desert of Inner Mongolia, virtually in the shadow of Heaven Mountain. It is one of the most revered herbs in Asian herbalism. Cistanche stem is a very potent Jing tonic herb that nurtures both Yin and Yang, though it is primarily renowned as a Yang tonic that promotes sexual and physical prowess. It is historically believed to contribute to the enlargement of a certain part of the male anatomy. Desert Cistanche is famous among almost all Asians as “the herb that Genghis Khan consumed.” Genghis Khan was one of the most powerful men that ever lived and founded the largest empire in the history of the world. He also fathered more children than any other known man in all of history. He is the DNA-substantiated ancestor of a substantial proportion of men now alive in the world today, approximately 16 million descendant males, and is the ancestor of countless women as well, though his female lineage cannot be traced. We appreciate that Genghis Khan was not a good man. He was a ruthless warrior and a conqueror. He did not build libraries. So for Shen we recommend Reishi, Goji, wild Ginseng and any of Dragon Herbs Shen tonic formulations.
Dragon Herbs tinctures, commonly referred to as “Dragon Drops,” are alcohol-and-water extracts of the highest quality tonic herbs in the world. These highly concentrated fluid extracts are available in 2 ounce glass dropper bottles with glass droppers. Dragon Drops formulations are developed by Master Herbalist Ron Teeguarden. We buy our herbs directly from herb farmers and herb hunters.
There are two primary natural solvents in this world: water and alcohol. The plants’ active compounds are usually either water-soluble or alcohol-soluble. The best full spectrum extraction method is to extract plants using both water and alcohol. That is how Dragon Drops are made.
Our Dragon Drops formulations go through 2 rounds of low temperature water extraction and 1 round of alcohol extraction. The extracted materials from all 3 rounds (water and alcohol) are then combined and condensed by removing majority of the solvents, reducing the volume by 90-95%. Essential oils evaporated during the extraction are trapped in oil traps and added back to the extracts. What you receive in our tinctures are therefore the essence of the essence. It has the best of both worlds: water-soluble compounds AND alcohol-soluble compounds.
The alcohol extraction equipment is expensive and its process has to be carefully controlled due to the combustibility of alcohol. Most companies do not use heat in their tincture production so they do not have to invest in high tech equipment upfront and they can keep the ongoing operating costs low. This is why most tinctures on the market are, in reality, infusions. In their low tech procedure, dry herbs are soaked in 20-90% alcohol then the infused solvent is sold. That is it. No heat, no cooking, no condensing. Only soaking. These end products sold in tincture form are practically solvents infused with herbs.
Infusions are NOT extracts. You can literally see and taste the difference.
If you want true “tinctures,” step up to Dragon Drops, the most potent true tinctures in the world.
