Used for more than 2,000 years, Bupleurum roots boast potent anti-inflammatory properties that fight off the effects of stress. Specfically in TCM, Bupleurum is used for anger-based stress symptoms including irritability, frustration and depression. Studies have shown Bupleurum can reduce depression by naturally increasing Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), two substances found at low levels in depressed patients.
