19.99139.50

Xiao Chai Hu Tang, also known as Minor Bupleurum Decoction, is a very famous and widely used classic herbal formula in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It was first recorded in the Shang Han Lun (伤寒论), a foundational text of TCM written around the 2nd century AD. Xiao Chai Hu Tang is primarily used to harmonize the Shao Yang stage, which in TCM terms represents a pattern of imbalance between the interior and exterior of the body, often involving the Liver and Gallbladder channels. It is commonly employed to address symptoms associated with alternating chills and fever, a bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, dizziness, irritability, fullness in the chest and hypochondria, and a lack of desire to eat. This granular form (KeLi) is a convenient way to consume this traditional formula.
