Lomatium Glycerite: What It Is, Traditional Uses, and Where to Find It in Europe

Among the many herbs in our catalog, Lomatium consistently stands out as one of the most requested — especially from customers across Europe looking for a high-quality, alcohol-free liquid extract.

What Is Lomatium?

Lomatium (Lomatium dissectum) is a flowering plant native to the western regions of North America. Also known as Desert Parsley or Biscuit Root, it has a long history of use among Native American peoples — particularly for respiratory health.

The root is the part most commonly used in herbal preparations.

Traditional Uses of Lomatium

Lomatium root has traditionally been used to support:

• Respiratory health – particularly during seasonal challenges
• Immune system function – as a general immune tonic
• Antiviral defence – it has been studied for potential antiviral properties
• Antibacterial support – traditional use in infections

It was notably used during the 1918 influenza pandemic by Native American communities, and has since attracted interest from herbalists and naturopaths worldwide.

Why Lomatium Glycerite?

Traditional preparations of Lomatium often used alcohol as a solvent. However, for many users — particularly those avoiding alcohol for health or personal reasons — an alcohol-free glycerite is a preferred option.

A Lomatium glycerite from Hawaii Pharm uses vegetable glycerin to extract and preserve the active constituents of the root, delivering the full-spectrum benefits without any ethanol.

How to Use Lomatium Glycerite

Typical serving: 1–2 ml (28–56 drops), 1–3 times daily, diluted in water or juice.

As with all herbal supplements, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or when taking other medications.

Note: Lomatium can cause a skin rash in some individuals, particularly at higher doses. Start with a lower amount and increase gradually.

Where to Buy Lomatium Glycerite in Europe

Lomatium is relatively rare in European supplement stores. Hawaii Pharm Europe is one of the few suppliers in the EU offering Lomatium root glycerite in both 60ml and 120ml sizes, with fast delivery from the EU and no customs fees for EU customers.
