Japanese Knotweed

BACK IN STOCK!

Japanese Knotweed has been used by people of Asia for thousands of years. The plant possesses many potent compounds, of which is the antioxidant resveratrol, a 'wonder drug' attributed with longevity and healing.*

Japanese Knotweed root is the richest known source of resveratrol and grows abundantly throughout North America and the temperate regions of the world. With its widespread appearance though, Knotweed has gained the reputation as a 'noxious invader'.

Invasive Plant Medicine

The modern 'invasion' of plants parallels the epidemic movement of pathogenic influences, revealing the symbiotic relationship between plants and disease. This can be seen with plants like Japanese Knotweed, who has spread in nearly the same trajectory and at the same rate as Lyme disease throughout North America.

Knotweed also has the ability to remove contaminants from the soil and water it inhabits, and can aid in the detoxification of the human body. This demonstrates the innate intelligence of the natural world, with prolific plants arriving to heal people's ills and helping to restore the ecological distress and remediate the wide-scale pollution that is present in the environment today.

Instead of isolating favored constituents to produce a standardized herbal extract, Green Dragon Botanicals favors the natural balance of compounds inherent in the whole herb that all help shape and support the healing abilities of the plant.
