Inula helenium root




















Today we are making products from raw Inula helenium root - cut herb, powder, fluid extract and tincture.

As with all raw herbs entering Essendine, the roots will go through many tests before they are released for production including formal identification; formal check on status (GMO herbs are not allowed onto our Essendine site, and all herbs must have documented proof that they are GMO free); microbiological analysis (including checks for TVC, enterobacteriacea, yeast & moulds, E-coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus Aureus); checks for toxins (including lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic); checks for pesticide residues, checks for aflotoxins etc

If for any reason the raw herb fails the tests it is rejected - there is no possibility it can be released for production, no matter how urgent the demand might be.
