Product Description
This very useful tincture is a tonic formulation designed to restore Yin that has been lost from the body. Yin is lost due to stress, overwork, dehydration, poor eating, too much sex, drug and alcohol abuse, and lack of adequate sleep and rest. Dendrobium, the primary herb of this formulation, is a very important and wonderful tonic herb. Dendrobium stems and pods replenish Yin Jing and generate fluids. It is commonly used in Chinese herbalism as a Yin tonic, which moistens the Stomach and Lungs. It may be used by healthy individuals to maintain healthy fluid balance in the body. The greatest value of Dendrobium lies in its restorative actions. Taoist sages, who were the masters of longevity, have routinely used Dendrobium as a daily tonic for many centuries. Dendrobium (which is the stem, leaf and flower pod of a Dendrobium orchid that is now cultivated for use as a tonic herb) is especially useful for quickly and effectively replenishing spent adaptive energy. Dendrobium has been traditionally used to replace spent Yin Jing of the Kidney. The Kidney is considered to be the whole body’s reservoir of Yin Jing, so replenishing the Yin of the Kidney replenishes the whole body. In replenishing and increasing Jing, Dendrobium increases the generative force. Dendrobium is especially famous for relieving fatigue that may result from sexual activity. For those who maintain a balanced sex life, Dendrobium is said to support superb sexual vigor. Dendrobium, being a Kidney Yin tonic, may increase the sexual fluids in men and women. It nourishes the saliva, which the Taoists call the “Precious Fluid.” It is a superb herb for athletes for the purpose of maintaining fluids during exercise or sports. Ron Teeguarden’s Taoist Master Sung Jin Park, was a great proponent of Dendrobium for anyone who lives an active life and who desires to remain youthful and beautiful. A great benefit of Dendrobium lies in its beauty-promoting quality. Dendrobium helps keep the skin moist, and constant use helps generate beautiful skin.

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.
