BUPLEURUM (Bupleurum chinense): This ancient Chinese herb has been used for over 2,000 years to treat a variety of ailments. Its most noted function is in the treatment of imbalances of the liver, improving it?s function and detoxification. Due to it?s liver stabilizing properties, it has been used to help with depression associated with PMS and Menopause, which practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine believe is caused by liver stagnation. A recent study has shown that Bupleurum fosters the programmed death of tumor cells and disrupts their energy metabolism, thus aiding in the management of inappropriate cell growth. Bupleurum has also been reported to stimulate adrenal gland function, especially for those taking corticosteroid drugs long term. Contains: Certified organic Bupleurum root, certified organic cane alcohol and distilled water. Caution: Do not take this herb if taking Interferon or immunosuppressant drugs. Discontinue taking Bupleurum two weeks before surgery.
