Bupleurum is a bitter herb used in the West and East to treat various digestive and liver disorders.
It is even called the King Herb for Moving Qi/Energy.
A symbol of energy and balance, this herb is remarkable for harmonizing conditions that present with both chills and fever and a bitter taste in the mouth. This includes colds and flu, but also malaria and typhoid fever.
Its energy-moving properties also treat many conditions, including headaches, irritability, menstrual cramps, and lung congestion, easing asthma and wheezing.
