    What does it do?

    The pattern of conditions Xiao Chai Hu Tang deals with is known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shao Yang Syndrome or Lesser Yang Stage disorder. Traditionally, this means that an external evil has penetrated the body (such as Wind) but was not released properly or completely. The evil then sinks deeper into the body, becoming stuck in the level described as in-between the interior and exterior energetic systems. According to TCM, this "half-interior, half-exterior" level corresponds primarily with the GallBladder and Liver organs/meridians. Typical presentations of this pattern include a feeling of both chills and heat, a feeling of rib-sides fullness, a bitter taste in the mouth, reduced appetite, and short temper.

    Xiao Chai Hu Tang consists of seven herbs. The chief Chinese herb, Chai Hu (Bupleurum) is an important herb for dealing irritability due to Liver Qi stagnation. Chai Hu is cooling and soothes the Liver with an ascending action that prevents the evil from penetrating further into the interior. Here, Chai Hu is combined with Huang Qin (Scutellaria) which aids in draining heat from the Liver and Gall Bladder system and vents evils. Together, these two herbs have a powerful calming effect.

    Zhi Ban Xia (prepared Pinellia) and Sheng Jiang (Ginger) work together to harmonize the middle burner (Spleen/Stomach) by transforming phlegm, directing rebellious Qi downward, and improving appetite. Dang Shen (Codonopsis) is a powerful Qi and Blood tonic that assists in expelling evils by restoring the body's own constitutional strength. Da Zao (Jujube) and Gan Cao (Licorice) harmonize the bitter properties of some of the other medicinals in the formula and also mildly assist Chai Hu.

    Together, these seven herbs have a remarkable synergistic effect that can be applied to a wide range of presentations.

    How do I use it?

    The standard dosage for Bupleuri Relaxe™ is 5 tablets each time, taken 2 to 3 times daily with or before meals. One bottle lasts users 13 to 20 days. The dose may be doubled for a quicker and stronger response as needed. Consult your practitioner for precise dosage recommendations based on body weight and other factors.

    Bupleuri Relaxe™ has a mild action and therefore it usually takes time before its effects become apparent.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from It really works. I bough this herbal medicine a month ago for myself in case I need it. two weeks ago, my daughter got the typical "shao yang" symptoms: felt bitterness in her mouth, felt dryness in her throat, felt wanting to vomit, and sometimes felt chill and sometimes felt hot. The night I gave her the Xiao Chai Hu pian, all the above symptoms diminished and she got a good sleep. She is a western medicine trained doctor. Originally, she did not believe the herbal medicine will help until it proved otherwise.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I was recommended to take this to manage my gutt issues that were part of my allergies to everything I breathed or ate. Most of my allergies are gone thanks to taking this on a regular basis. I prefer buying them through ActiveHerb for its more cost affective than Amazon.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Recommended for my dog by a veterinarian. I am not sure yet how it is working for him. I think a person or dog in this case would need to be on it a month or longer to know for sure how it is working as natural products don't work immediately but rather need a bit more time to begin doing what needs to be done. This is not a fast service cure all but rather a product to get him on the path he needs to recover from his injury.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly what I was looking for I bought this several weeks ago to help me treat an unknown condition that doctors couldn’t yet identify. Now at least I know that I am supporting my body’s natural defenses through this period of distress.

    Product Q&A

    Do you recommend the tablets or pills if I want to make a tea with the product, i.e., will the tablets dissolve in hot water or am I better off emptying capsules? I dislike swallowing tablets/capsules, have been making tea with herbal granules. Thank you.

    Asked by: KarenD
    Hi, Thanks for the question. Yes, the tablets but not pills can be easily dissolved in hot water and served as tea.
