Bupleurum falcatum is a perennial herb growing up to 1 m. The dried roots of B. falcatum are a well-known crude drug in Traditional Oriental Medicine for treating depression, feminine health issues, digestive problems, infections, and liver conditions. The plant is thought to act in the body in five specific ways. It protects the liver as it performs vital daily functions, acts as an anti-inflammatory, increases perspiration, reduces coughing, and acts as a bittering agent to influence digestion. The most common use for B. falcatum is in treating liver conditions and alleviating symptoms associated with liver problems. Saikosaponins, the main active ingredients found in the roots of B. falcatum, are very well known for their anti-inflammatory activities. Immunomodulatory, anti-ulcerative, platelet activation inhibitory, corticosterone secretory, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and potent free radical scavenging activities by saikosaponins have been scientifically demonstrated by various research studies.
