As a topical product, you may apply 1-2 sprays topically on the desired area daily.

 

Like our herbal tinctures, the Sarracenia Purpurea Topical Spray is glycerin-based.

 

Yes, glycerin is safe for topical use! While we use it in many of our liquid products as it makes a great carrier, it also has been used for many years in topical products.

 

Since this product is a proprietary blend, we are unable to provide exact specifications for the content of the Sarracenia purpurea per spray.

 

Sarracenia purpurea, also known as the purple pitcher plant, northern pitcher plant, turtle socks, or side-saddle flower, is a carnivorous plant in the family Sarraceniaceae that lives in American bogs.

 

The pitcher plant is a perennial forb, or herbaceous flowering plant, that spreads by short rhizomes (like underground stems). Plants form an open, spreading rosette of green leaves, which are often tinged or veined with purple, and can grow to 30 cm in length. The plants flower in mid-spring, producing a solitary flower at the top of a scape 20 – 40 cm tall.

 

Sarracenia purpurea goes by multiple names, including "purple pitcher plant" or the "northern pitcher plant" (due to the geographic range in which it grows). On the other hand, what is sometimes referred to as "Burk's southern pitcher plant" was previously classified as a varietal of S. purpurea.

 

However, in 1999 botanists determined that the "southern pitcher plant" was morphologically distinct enough from S. purpurea to be elevated to its own species. The scientific name for "southern pitcher plant" is now Sarracenia rosea

 

Our product is made with Sarracenia purpurea or what is commonly referred to as "northern pitcher plant".
