History:
Bupleurum Root is a perennial ornamental plant, native to the Far East ( i.e., China, Japan and Korea), that bears sickle-shaped leaves topped by clusters of tiny yellow flowers, and it thrives in well-drained soil in full sun, reaching a height of three feet. The roots of this bitter herb are harvested in the spring and autumn, sun-dried, and used in herbal preparations. The root has occupied an integral part of Oriental healing since ancient times and was mentioned in Chinese medical texts in A. D. 200, as a tonic for the liver and circulatory system. It was also said to moderate the emotional instability that is sometimes associated with sluggish liver function and a wide variety of other issues (frequently in conjunction with other herbs). Some of the constituents in Bupleurum Root are rutin (a bioflavonoid), saikosides (and other saponins), organic acids (oleic, linolenic, palmetic, stearic, et al), stigmasterol, bupleuromol, quercetin, calcium and potassium.
