These Asian plants are part of the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) family, and resemble dill or fennel. However, bupleurum has long thin leaves rather than the lacy appearance of fennel and dill leaves. The Chinese name for bupleurum, chai hu, means “kindling of the barbarians.” The origin of this name is unclear. The roots of the plant are used in herbal medicine.
Bupleurum has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years to help relieve numerous conditions.
Most particularly, infections with fever, liver problems, indigestion, hemorrhoids, and uterine prolapse.
Bupleurum is a key ingredient in the formula known as sho-saiko-to. This is a Japanese kampo or traditional herbal medicine formula based on the traditional Chinese formula xiao-chai-hu-tang.
In English, it has been called minor bupleurum formula. Bupleurum makes up 16% of the formula for sho-saiko-to
Results reported for sho-saiko-to cannot be attributed solely to bupleurum because the other herbs in the formula also contribute.
