Dogbane

Description

Dogbane  Discussion:

Dogbane is used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, mainly for cardiovascular, blood pressure, hypertension, and depression support. In TCM it is known as Luo Bu Ma. It is also said to have cardioprotective, sedative, and diuretic properties but this would be another herb that has not been properly studied. As a matter of fact, it has only recently begun to even be looked at medicinally by science.

It is used by many for support with soothing the nerves and calming the liver. It has many constituents but the most well-known would be the natural content of quercetin. It may also give support in the areas of antioxidants, hypertension, and lipid-lowering.

It has shown promising support with lowering blood pressure, which would make it an important tool for the elderly. It is said to do so by increasing nitric oxide production. With further studies, science may find that it may support things like blood vessel relaxation, blood pressure, anxiety, overall detoxification, diabetes, kidney blood flow, headaches, mood swings, vertigo, and hyperactivity related to the liver not functioning properly.

It is an old-time remedy for head lice infestations. Tea would be made from this plant and then used to wash the hair and scalp.

It is an herb that comes with cautions and should only be used in micro-doses. Using it with direction from an advanced herbalist or your practitioner may be best when using dogbane. Prolonged use may require advice from your practitioner.

Product Variations:

We offer every herb in multiple variations. For example, you can get it as a standard tincture, oxygenated tincture, glycerite, herbal tea, encapsulated, or as a loose powder. We highly recommend getting at least two variations of the preferred blend, to achieve saturation.

Standard Tincture – Herbal compounds extracted in an alcohol base. Alcohol offers a superior absorption rate. We recommend allowing your dose to sit under the tongue for 3+ minutes, then swallowing it down with a drink of water. Otherwise, you may add it to 4 oz. of water, juice, or a smoothie. Microscopic compounds are readily available to be absorbed through tissues, into the bloodstream, and then circulated to organs.

Herbosomal/Lipospheric Tincture – This is the standard tincture, put through an energetic process. We collide the herbal compounds with oxygen and essential oil molecules, entrapping them within an oxygenated bubble. The process can be seen because the tincture lightens in color. The lipospheres’ may have the capability to surpass the bioavailability of a standard tincture, although it exhibits all of the same benefits.

Glycerite – Herbal compounds extracted in vegetable glycerin. This contains NO alcohol and NO sugar. The taste of glycerin resembles syrup, which makes it ideal for children. This version may be best for those highly sensitive or are seeking a nonalcoholic extraction. Doses may need to be up to three times higher than a tincture to receive similar benefits. They can be taken in the same way as tinctures, which is in 4 oz. of water, juice, or a smoothie.

Cut & Sifted Herb – Our dogbane is wildcrafted and comes as cut & sifted aerial parts of the plant.

Topical Ointment – An oil-based salve infused with Black Garlic, and it is scented with our Queen Anne’s Lace essential oil.

Infused Oil – We delicately infuse sunflower oil with every part of the intact bulb! It is an amazing, infused oil to use! It is scented with our Queen Anne’s Lace essential oil.

Organic Soap – We offer infused, organic soap in 8 oz. portions. This is two 4 oz. bars. It is scented with our Queen Anne’s Lace essential oil.
