What is Bupleurum used for?
Bupleurum is a revered natural herb that has been used for thousands of years in the Traditional Chinese System. It was considered an herb that supports the flow of ‘chi’ which describes the Chinese concept of the flow of life force energy. In the Chinese system of health, there is a concept of ‘obstruction’ of chi which interferes with the optimum health of organs. Bupleurum has been recognized since ancient times to disperse the obstruction of chi and therefore clear heat from the liver system.*

Bupleurum has an array of active components, including saikosaponins (A,B,C, D) , Saikogenin (E, F, G), Saponins and Pyto-sterols. Both the individual components, and the whole herb, have been subjected to a large body of in depth scientific inquiry which has supported traditional use.*
