【Product Introduction】
Black aconite extract is derived from the root of Aconitum carmichaelii, commonly known as processed aconite or "Fuzi" in traditional Chinese medicine. It contains alkaloids such as aconitine, mesaconitine, and hypaconitine, which require careful processing to reduce toxicity. This extract is traditionally used in herbal medicine, often applied in formulations for pain relief, warming the body, and supporting circulatory health. Due to its potent bioactive compounds, it is used in controlled dosages and is typically included in externally applied herbal preparations or highly regulated internal formulations.
【Production Process】
The raw aconite roots are first cleaned and sliced before undergoing specialized processing to reduce toxicity. Traditional methods involve boiling, steaming, or soaking the roots with specific detoxifying agents. The processed roots are then dried, ground into a powder, and extracted using a water or ethanol-based solvent. The extract is filtered, concentrated, and spray-dried to obtain a fine powder. Final testing ensures that toxic alkaloid levels meet safety standards before packaging.
【Product Functions and Effects】
Black aconite extract is primarily used for its warming properties in traditional medicine, believed to help support circulation and relieve cold-induced discomfort. It is often used in formulations targeting joint and muscle pain. Some applications include supporting heart function and energy levels, though its use is strictly regulated due to its potential toxicity. Proper processing and dosage control are essential for safe application.
【Product Application Scenarios】
Black aconite extract is primarily used in traditional herbal medicine, where it is included in specific formulations under expert supervision. It is commonly applied in external herbal products, such as medicated plasters and liniments, for muscle and joint discomfort. In some cases, it is incorporated into internal formulations in highly controlled amounts, often combined with other herbs to balance its effects. It is not typically used in general dietary supplements or functional foods due to its toxic nature.
