About Dodder Seed
Dodder Seed, also known as Cuscuta or Tu Si Zi, comes from Cuscuta chinensis, a parasitic vine found in parts of Asia. Unlike most plants, dodder does not rely entirely on its own roots for nourishment. Instead, the vine attaches itself to other plants and obtains nutrients from its host.
The plant produces small seeds that have a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Tu Si Zi remains a recognized traditional herbal ingredient and is commonly included in traditional herbal preparations.
10:1 Extract
Our Dodder Seed Extract uses a 10:1 extract ratio, providing a concentrated form of the original seed material. In simple terms, 10 parts of the starting botanical material are used to produce 1 part of finished extract.
As a result, the extract offers a more concentrated and convenient alternative to using the whole dried seeds. The fine powder can be incorporated into suitable herbal preparations and formulations.
Traditional Use
Dodder Seed has a long history of traditional use in Chinese herbal practices. Traditional herbalists have used Tu Si Zi in a variety of herbal preparations, often combining it with other botanicals.
