Dan shen originates in the eastern section of Asia, particularly in the countries of Manchuria and Mongolia. The plant itself is a hardy perennial that is part of the mint family. Dan shen plants have oval shaped leaves that are lined with toothed edges along the borders, and clusters of purple flowers that bloom as harvesting time draws near. Generally, the plants are harvested during the autumn, with the harvest lasting until the early spring. The dan shen root is the portion that is set aside as one of the most potent medicinal herbs.
