Lomatium, also called fernleaf biscuitroot, desert parsley, and giant lomatium, amongst other names, is a perennial herb with a thick, woody taproot. Native to western North America, lomatium root has a long history of use and has traditionally had an important role within many Native American tribes, serving as food, medicine, and as a ceremonial plant. The aromatic root, considered energetically warming and drying, is valued for its wellness-supporting properties and affinity for the lungs. Historically, its tender young shoots and taproots were used as food or made into a beverage.
A member of the Apiaceae family, lomatium hosts a flowering head consisting of an umbel of small yellow-to-purplish flowers. Its leaves begin to grow in early spring and are pinnately compound. Additionally, early flowering makes this plant an important species for pollinators as well as critical early forage for elk, deer, and antelope. Lomatium dissectum is the largest member of Lomatium genus and most widely used today. It is a slow growing species of Lomatium that is common in sagebrush and mountainous habitats.
Our lomatium extract is made from macerated fresh roots and organic grain alcohol. It has a flavor that is strongly resinous and somewhat bitter. Lomatium tincture can be taken alone or in juice or water. It pairs well with other extracts and is especially well matched with our chest care extract. It can also be added to herbal teas such as spring care tea.
