Ligusticum Striatum

Ligusticum striatum, also known as Ligusticum chuanxiong or Ligusticum wallichii, is a perennial herb of the Apiaceae family and the authentic botanical source of Chuanxiong, one of the most widely used herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Nustras supplies it as a dried-rhizome powder and as a standardised extract for herbal, TCM and functional formulations.

Chuanxiong is traditionally formulated for blood-circulation support, women's health, and headache and brain-health blends, and as a functional ingredient it is used in standardised extracts and TCM-inspired supplement formulas. Its key constituents include ligustilide, ferulic acid, senkyunolide and volatile oils.

The material is offered as a dried rhizome powder or as an extract standardised to a ferulic-acid or ligustilide marker, with the ratio specified to order. It is a light-brown powder prepared from the rhizome; identity is confirmed by TLC or HPLC, and heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis. The botanical origin is China.

Nustras supplies Ligusticum striatum in bulk commercial quantities, in fibre drums or cartons, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Chuanxiong is represented in the NNHPD traditional-medicine ingredient resources; buyers confirm the accepted botanical name, plant part and claim for their Natural Health Product submission.
