Corydalis ambigua (Corydalis) Dried Root

Description

Corydalis ambigua, known simply as Corydalis, is a traditional Chinese medicine. Corydalis dried root is a dietary supplement used to treat pain, anxiety, and insomnia. It is also used to reduce inflammation and improve digestion.

Corydalis belongs to the Papaveraceae family, the same as the Opium Poppy, although it has just as many differences as it does similarities. Although both are used to treat pain, the constituents of Opium have been isolated and used in conventional medicine as both an opioid receptor pain-killer and sedative.

The active compounds in Corydalis however, have been shown to help pain at doses that do not induce sedation whilst still exerting significant effects at pain receptors.

How to Brew Corydalis ambigua (Corydalis) Tea

Heat water to a boil. Use 1-2 heaped tsp of Corydalis root for each cup of water. Place in small saucepan, cover and leave to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain and add honey or lemon if desired.

Packaging: Heat Sealed Zip Lock Bag
