Dried Bistort Rhizome

Dried bistort rhizome (Polygonum bistorta) is a strong, grounding root traditionally used in European and Asian herbalism for its astringent and toning properties. Known for helping to soothe the digestive tract, support oral health, and assist in post-illness recovery, bistort root has a long-standing reputation as a herb that strengthens and restores. Its earthy, slightly bitter flavor makes it ideal for decoctions and herbal mouth rinses.
