This dipsacus root is potent. It has a traditional bitter flavor to it, but with a hint of sweetness. This root fully dissolves upon chewing, unlike some roots that leave wood behind that does not have medicinal properties. Another property of this herb is that along with the bitter flavor (which usually means a medicinal reaction in the body), the constituents in dispacus cause a froth to form showing a further reactive effect. The pieces in the package are nice and thick with plenty of bark on them, guaranteeing fresh, non-oxidized inner medicinal material. There is a generous amount in the package.
