Scientists have studied bupleurum for the following health problems:

 

Fever

Chinese publications have mentioned small studies that suggest bupleurum may

be helpful for reducing fever. However, safety and effectiveness have not

been established. In traditional Chinese medicine, bupleurum is often used in

combination with other herbs.

Hepatitis

Chinese publications have mentioned small studies that suggest bupleurum may

improve symptoms of hepatitis. However, safety and effectiveness have not

been established, and these studies have tested bupleurum in combination with

other herbs. Better research is needed to provide more definitive answers.

Primary thrombocytopenic purpura

One case series from China suggests that primary thrombocytopenic purpura

(abnormally low blood platelet counts, which increase risk of bleeding) may

respond, in some cases, to treatment with bupleurum-containing herbal formulas.

There are no controlled studies of the use of herbals in this condition to

date, so definitive conclusions are not possible.

Minimal brain dysfunction

A combination containing bupleurum was assessed in one study as a treatment

for children with minimal brain dysfunction. Further randomized, clinical

trials will need to be done before recommending for or against the use of

bupleurum for minimal brain dysfunction.
