🌿 Chai Hu (Bupleurum) – The Liver-Soothing Herb 🌿
Chai Hu (柴胡, Bupleurum) is a key herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, primarily used to regulate liver Qi, reduce inflammation, and support immune function.
✔ Regulates Liver Qi: Helps relieve symptoms of liver Qi stagnation, such as stress, irritability, chest tightness, and mood swings. Commonly used in formulas like Xiao Yao San for emotional balance.
✔ Reduces Fever & Inflammation: Known for its ability to harmonize the body’s internal temperature, Chai Hu is used in formulas like Xiao Chai Hu Tang to treat alternating fever and chills, often seen in viral infections.
✔ Supports Digestion: Aids in reducing bloating, nausea, and indigestion, especially when stress-related. Helps smooth Qi flow in the stomach and intestines.
✔ Hormonal & Menstrual Health: Used to alleviate PMS symptoms, irregular menstruation, and hormone imbalances by regulating liver Qi and promoting blood circulation.
🔹 How to Use: Chai Hu is often combined with other herbs in TCM formulas rather than taken alone.
Consult a licensed practitioner for proper dosage and use.
