Traditional Uses: Traditionally used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years to “harmonize the exterior and interior” for fevers and chills; soothe liver Qi stagnation for hypochondriac pain and menstrual disorders, and treat prolapse conditions.
Potential Benefits: Research suggests it may exhibit hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antidepressant, and anti-cancer properties, primarily attributed to bioactive compounds called saikosaponins.
Warnings: Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding; may cause hepatotoxicity (liver damage) at excessive doses or with long-term use; contraindicated in individuals with autoimmune diseases (theoretical risk), bleeding disorders (may slow clotting), and those taking immunosuppressants, anticoagulants, or diabetes medications due to potential interactions.
