Ear aches can be uncomfortable, disruptive, and—when they strike children—stressful for the whole family. While conventional treatments have their place, many patients are seeking natural, time-tested solutions that can work alongside or in place of pharmaceuticals. One formula I’ve relied on in my clinical practice is Bupleurum & Angelica, a high-quality liquid herbal remedy from Blue Poppy.
What is Bupleurum & Angelica?
Bupleurum & Angelica is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to address inflammation, stagnation, and discomfort in the ear and surrounding areas. It contains a synergistic blend of botanicals that work to:
- Support healthy circulation in the head and neck
- Clear heat and reduce inflammation
- Strengthen the body’s natural defenses
Key herbs include:
- Bupleurum root (Chai Hu) – Known for its ability to harmonize and disperse stagnant energy, especially in the Shaoyang channel, which often relates to ear discomfort.
- Angelica root (Dang Gui) – Nourishes and moves the blood, promoting tissue healing and pain relief.
- Additional herbs in the formula help drain dampness, reduce swelling, and support immune balance.
How It Works for Ear Aches
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, ear aches can stem from wind-heat invasion, dampness, or Qi and blood stagnation. This formula addresses these root causes while gently restoring balance. In Western terms, its combination of anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive herbs makes it ideal for soothing discomfort and promoting faster recovery.
Why I Recommend It
I’ve successfully used Bupleurum & Angelica with both children and adults in my practice, often seeing significant improvement within just a few days. It’s especially effective when given at the first sign of ear pain or discomfort, helping prevent symptoms from worsening.
Parents appreciate that it’s:
- Liquid and easy to dose for children
- Gentle yet effective for sensitive systems
- Made with high-quality herbs sourced and prepared by Blue Poppy, a trusted name in herbal medicine
Safety and Use
As with any herbal medicine, it’s important to work with a qualified practitioner to ensure proper dosing and compatibility with other treatments. When used correctly, Bupleurum & Angelica is well-tolerated and safe for most ages.
