    • Trans-Asarone

    Trans (alpha) and Cis (beta) Asarone are ketones as found in calamus, wild ginger, and carrot seed.  Many ketones can be toxic internally and topically.  Some can be convulsant, toxic to the liver, or neurotoxic in high doses.  Do not overuse or use for prolonged periods of time.
