🌿 Minor Bupleurum (Xiao Chai Hu Tang) – A Traditional Formula for Lingering Illness 🌿

Struggling with lingering symptoms after getting a cold or flu? Traditional Chinese Medicine has long used Minor Bupleurum (Xiao Chai Hu Tang) to address symptoms that persist after an acute illness, settling into an intermediate, lingering stage.

Recently, this formula has been used for long COVID and other conditions where symptoms come and go, such as:
✔️ Alternating hot and cold or fever and chills
✔️ Chest tightness or discomfort
✔️ Bitter taste in the mouth
✔️ Dizziness & nausea
✔️ Fatigue & poor appetite

Beyond respiratory issues like lingering coughs, bronchitis, and asthma, it has also been traditionally used for malaria, hepatitis, cholecystitis, jaundice, and irregular menstruation. More recently, it has been explored as a general immune tonic with potential benefits for HIV and AIDS support.
