Description
Cnidium / She Chuang Zi Extract (Cnidium monnieri)
Cnidium Extract 10:1
Our Cnidium Extract (Cnidium monnieri) provides a concentrated 10:1 extract made from the dried fruit of the Cnidium plant.
Cnidium, also known as She Chuang Zi, has a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Herbal practitioners have traditionally valued the dried fruit for its naturally occurring plant compounds and its role in traditional herbal preparations.
A 10:1 extract concentrates the herb by using approximately 10 parts of the original plant material to produce 1 part of extract. As a result, this format provides a convenient way to work with a concentrated herbal ingredient.
Traditional Herbal Use
Traditional Chinese herbal practices have used Cnidium fruit for many years. Traditionally, practitioners have included it in herbal preparations to support:
- Healthy skin
- Normal skin comfort
- General health and wellbeing
- Traditional herbal formulations
In addition, herbalists often combine Cnidium with other herbs as part of traditional formulas. Its long history in Chinese herbalism makes it a popular ingredient for practitioners interested in traditional herbal preparations.
About Cnidium
Cnidium (Cnidium monnieri) belongs to the Apiaceae family, which also includes plants such as parsley, fennel and celery. The plant produces small fruits that herbal practitioners have traditionally used as an herbal ingredient.
The name She Chuang Zi commonly refers to the dried fruit used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Therefore, you may see Cnidium listed under either its botanical name or its traditional Chinese name.
Our 10:1 extract offers a practical option for herbalists, practitioners and people who prepare their own herbal formulations. We also offer Cnidium capsules for those who prefer a convenient pre-measured format.
Extract and Capsules
Choose the 10:1 extract when you want a concentrated ingredient for your own herbal preparations or formulations. Alternatively, our capsules provide a simple and convenient way to use Cnidium without preparing the extract yourself.
