Product Description

The pan-fried seed of Zizyphus spinosa, a close relative of the Jujube date, has reliable natural sedative properties. Fried Zizyphus seed is the primary sedative herb used in Chinese traditional herbalism and is very commonly used as a folk herb. Shennong’s Classic (100 A.D.) describes Zizyphus seed this way: “Zizyphus has a balanced energy, being neither too warming nor too cooling. The taking of this herb over time can calm the five viscera, make the body light, and prolong life.” As stressed by a famous physician of the Ming Dynasty: “The insufficiency of genuine Yin, Jing and blood will cause disconnection of Yin and Yang, thus disturbing the peace of Shen resulting in disturbed sleep. The heart shelters the Shen and is the house of the Yang. Sleep occurs when the Wei Qi enters the Yin and creates a quiet environment. When the Yang has a home to return to, sleep will ensue. When the heart is disturbed by worry and shakes Shen, restlessness occurs, which causes poor sleep.” Zizyphus is used to help assure that the Yang has a “home” to return to by nourishing the Yin and blood of the heart and liver.

Modern researchers now know that Zizyphus seed contains unique triterpenes, known as jujubosides, which are believed to be largely responsible for the gentle non-addictive sedative action of this herb. The jujubosides are nearly identical to triterpenes found in Reishi, an herb that is traditionally used as a mildly sedative tonic. Zizyphus is reported to have very low toxicity when taken orally, and is widely used in China as a single herb, at bed time, to promote normal, relaxed, sound sleep.

State-of-the-Art Industrial Extraction

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.

Ron Extraction

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.
