Bupleurum
: Bupleurum is an herb that is typically found in East Asia. Bupleurum has long thin leaves that look like fennel. Bupleurum may have immune inhibitory effects. However, there is insufficient available evidence on the safety and efficacy of this treatment in humans. Further research is warranted.Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to Bupleurum, snakeroot, cow parsnip, poison hemlock, or Apiaceae or Umbelliferae (carrot) families. Use cautiously if operating motor vehicles or hazardous machinery due to a possible risk of sedation. Use cautiously with diabetes. Saikosaponins, constituents of Bupleurum, have been shown to increase plasma glucose concentrations in rat studies. Use cautiously with high blood pressure, diabetes, or edema due to possibility of adrenal stimulation. Use cautiously if taking anticoagulants due to theoretical inhibition of human platelet activation. Read more
