Bupleurum Chinense Root Extract: Top Health Benefits [2022 Updates]

Bupleurum Longifolium plants are native to East Asia. Their leaves are long and narrow, and their roots are known for their medicinal benefits.
Although only rarely used by Western herbalists, Bupleurum chinense root is considered an important herb in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is used as tonic for the liver and the circulatory system. It is more often combined with other herbs such as ginger, peony, Panax ginseng, bitter orange peel, licorice root and scutellaria in a nutritious herbal tea instead of being used on its own.

Bupleurum chinense is a plant of the Apiaceae family and the root is bitter in taste. It is known as one of China’s “Harmony Herbs” and current scientific studies and clinical trials have found it to be antioxidant and anti-disease in nature.

Alternative names include Bupleuri Exaltatum, Chinese Bupleurum, Multinerve Falcatum, Chai Hu, Chi Hu, Thoroughwax, Saiko, Hare’s Ear Root and Shrubby.

  1. I’ve found that what some diagnose as tinnitus is actually It might be congestion in the Eustachian Tube.
    Make a small bottle of camphorated olive oil and put a drop or two in the ear at bedtime and massage it in.
    My wife and I tried this and after some time(mine was three months) a load of ear wax came out and the problem diminished.
    The easy was to make camphorated olive oil is to fill a small amber bottle 1/4 or slightly more with camphor crystals and then fill the bottle with olive oil.
    It will take several days depending on temperature, but the camphor will be absorbed by the olive oil. Use only olive oil. Humco also sells this as camphorated sweet oil.
