ALKANET Root (Alcanna tinctoria) ALKANET ROOT, DRIED Herb, Detox Herbal Tea, BIO, | DESCRIPTION: Botanical name: Alcanna tinctoriaALKANET ROOT, Botanical name: Alcanna tinctoria is well known as Herbal Detox Tea for Natural Therapy in Holistic therapy, Homeopathy and Home medicine. Natural herbs are very effective in boosting the immune system, increasing the body resistance to infections, healing the allergies, and raising and renewing the body vitality. Common Names: Alkanet , alkannawurzel (German), alkermeswurzel (German), Anchusa tinctoria , Dyerss Bugloss , henna , orchanet (English), racine dalcanna (French), racine dorcanette (French), radix anchusea (tinctoriae) (Latin), rote ochsenzungenwurzel (German), schminkwurzel (German) Habitat: Alkanet (A. tinctoria) is cultivated in Central and Southern Europe for its dye, which is readily extracted by oils and spirit of wine. It is employed in pharmacy to give a red colour to salves, etc., and in staining wood in imitation of rosewood, or mahogany. This is done by rubbing it with oil in which the Alkanet root has been soaked. About 8 to 10 tons were annually imported from France and Germany. The plant is sometimes also cultivated in Britan, but by far the greater portion of the Alkanet used here is imported either from the Levant or from the neighbourhood of Montpellier, in France. Plant Description: The species are hispid or pubescent herbs, with oblong, entire leaves, and bracteated racemes, rolled up before the flowers expand. The corolla is rather small, between funnel and salver-shaped; usually purplish-blue, but in some species yellow or whitish; the calyx enlarges in fruit. The root, which is often very large in proportion to the size of the plant, yields in many of the species a red dye from the rind.Though Alkanet imparts a fine deep red colour to oily substances and to spirit of wine, it tinges water with a dull brownish hue. Wax tinged with Alkanet, and applied to the surface of warm marble, stains it flesh-colour and sinks deep into the stone. It is also used in colouring spurious port-wine, for which purpose it is perfectly harmless.Our British species, the Common Alkanet (A. officinalis), is a soft, hairy plant with an angular stem, narrow, lanceolate leaves; and forked, one-sided cymes of violet flowers; calyx longer than the funnel-shaped corolla. It is an occasional escape from gardens. It is a biennial, and flowers from June to July. Plant Part Used: The root is the part used in traditional dye crafts. | Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. | AVAILABLE PACKAGES | Weight | 50g | £ 2.97 | | | Weight | 250g | £10.15 | -11.9% | Weight | 75g | £4.19 | -5.9% | | Weight | 400g | £13.79 | -15.1% | Weight | 100g | £5.14 | -7.8% | | Weight | 850g | £20.8 | -29% | Weight | 150g | £6.96 | -9.7% | | For custom order Contact us: | ***The discounts are made based on the price of the previous package weight. | |
