Codonopsis Root

Codonopsis Root (Codonopsis pilosula)

Known as dang shen in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), codonopsis has been used for centuries as a gentle Qi (energy) tonic and is often chosen as a milder alternative to ginseng in classical herbal formulas. Native to Asia, this twining perennial produces distinctive bell-shaped flowers and long, carrot-like roots that are prized in traditional herbal practice. Our dried codonopsis root is commonly prepared as a decoction, tincture, or incorporated into custom botanical formulations.
