Bistort Rhizome Root – Polygonum bistorta

Traditional astringent root for wellness.

Bistort rhizome root, also known as Polygonum bistorta, is a traditional European herb valued for centuries in folk wellness practices. Harvested from naturally moist meadows and mountain regions, this dried root is known for its firm texture, pale beige color, and distinctly astringent taste. It has long been included in herbal routines focused on balance, digestive comfort, and oral care traditions.

Commonly prepared as an herbal infusion or decoction, bistort root develops a mild earthy aroma with a strong, drying mouthfeel typical of tannin-rich roots. It may also be used externally in traditional herbal applications. Our bistort rhizome is carefully hand-filled in small batches and packed in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness and aroma.
