Product Description
Bupleurum chinense - Certified Organic, grain alcohol 60%, distilled spring water. Strength 1:5.
Supports healthy liver function.*
Summary: Traditional Chinese medicine uses bupleurum for a variety of ailments, including fever, reducing body heat, hemorrhoids, indigestion, lung congestion, and as a liver tonic. There is some research to show that saikosides, a constituent of bupleurum, are in fact a liver protectorate. It has also been used, when combined with ginseng and licorice, to stimulate the adrenal glands. As the primary ingredient in the Japanese herbal formula sho-saiko-to, bupleurum is Japan's most commonly used herb for treating hepatitis and liver cancer.
Precautions: Should be avoided when pregnant or breast feeding. Bupleurum should not be taken if you are taking antibiotics as they may kill off certain bacteria needed to activate bupleurum. Extended use may cause gastrointestinal problems.
Suggested Use: Shake well. Twelve years and older, add 1-4 ml (15-60 drops) to a small amount of water and drink. Use 3-4 times daily as needed. To evaporate alcohol before drinking, add to a cup of heated water (no microwave!) and allow to sit for ten minutes before drinking. If an herb is appropriate for children, herb doses for children under 12 are typically 1/2 the adult dose; adjust by weight accordingly or check with a qualified practitioner.
