2026-02-26

Refined through modern scientific extraction techniques, it preserves the core active components inherent to Leonurus japonicus, combining traditional pharmacological value with contemporary application advantages. Widely applicable across pharmaceuticals, health supplements, cosmetics, and other sectors, it stands as a premier choice for natural, safe, and highly effective botanical extracts.
I. Core Product Advantages Premium Raw Materials, Controlled Sourcing
Sourced from China's Yangtze River Basin—a premier Leonurus japonicus cultivation region characterised by temperate climate and fertile soil ideal for its growth. This yields stems and leaves with substantial thickness and high active ingredient content. Strict adherence to harvesting standards: Fresh material is cut during the spring seedling stage to early summer pre-flowering period, while dried material is harvested in summer when stems and leaves are lush and flowers are unopened or just beginning to bloom. Multiple pre-treatment processes—including washing, sun-drying, and cutting into segments—remove impurities and ineffective components, ensuring raw material purity. A comprehensive traceability system is established, ensuring full control from cultivation and harvesting through to pre-processing. This eliminates issues such as pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination, laying a solid foundation for product quality.
II. Defined Composition, Significant Efficacy
The core active ingredient content remains stable, rigorously controlled through TLC testing methods to ensure consistent quality across every batch. Notably, leonurine and stachydrine serve as pivotal components for regulating female physiological functions, while flavonoids and polysaccharides deliver potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. These synergistic ingredients deliver multifaceted value, specifically:
- Gynaecological Regulation: Promotes blood circulation and regulates menstruation by stimulating uterine smooth muscle contractions and balancing endocrine function, thereby addressing irregular periods, dysmenorrhoea, and menstrual blood stasis; Promotes postpartum uterine contraction, accelerates lochia expulsion, and aids postnatal recovery while alleviating discomfort from chronic gynaecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis;
- Antioxidant and anti-ageing: Eliminates free radicals, reduces oxidative stress damage, delays bodily ageing, and simultaneously improves skin condition by brightening complexion and soothing inflammatory reactions;
- Additional benefits: Supports diuresis and oedema reduction, improves fluid metabolism, alleviates nephritis or cardiac oedema; exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, externally applied to relieve sores and insect bite swelling; additionally aids blood pressure regulation, inhibits platelet aggregation, and supports cardiovascular health.
