An important herb within traditional Chinese Medicine, Bupleurum Root (Bupleurum radix) is also known as ''Chai hu'' in Chinese, which translates to ''Kindling for barbarians.'' Within the ancient Chinese systems, where Bupleurum Root powder is mentioned in texts as early as 200 A.D., it was primarily used to regulate the energy of the body and detoxify, removing impurities wastes, etc. Some practice within the old lore also uses it to treat unstable emotion.Modern herbalists often prescribe Bupleurum Root powder as an antispasmodic, where it is useful in relieving spasms and muscle tension. It is also sometimes used as an anti-inflammatory, and a mild sedative. While these qualities make it useful in a variety of afflictions, they also warrant some caution in that Bapuleurum Root should not be used by those who are pregnant or nursing.This is a 1 oz packet of Bupleurum Root powder.
