Bupleurum & Angelica: A Trusted Herbal Remedy for Ear Aches in Children and Adults
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.

Strengthen Your Body’s Natural Defenses with ImmunExtra®
There’s no bad time to have a strong immune system. Like nature, your body has the built-in ability to protect and heal itself — and it all happens through your immune system.
Research shows that a healthy, well-functioning immune system is your best defense against most common illnesses. However, modern life often works against us. Stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and even certain medications can weaken your immune response, leaving you more vulnerable to colds, flu, and other infections.
Why Your Immune System Changes Over Time
Your immune system’s strength grows from birth through your teenage years, when it’s at its peak. From early adulthood onward, however, it begins a subtle but steady decline — a process called immunosenescence. This gradual weakening means your body may not respond as effectively to infectious agents as it once did, increasing your risk of illness.
The Science Behind ImmunExtra®
ImmunExtra® is a vegan, all-natural, clinically-tested supplement designed to help your immune system perform at its best year-round. Its key ingredient, Proligna®, is a patented botanical extract derived from pine cones.
Here’s what makes it so powerful:
- Dendritic Cell Activation – Dendritic cells are the “commanders” of your immune system, detecting threats and alerting other immune cells to respond.
- Proven Results – Research shows that Proligna® can increase dendritic cell development 9-fold in as little as 9 days.
- Balanced Immune Response – Unlike stimulants that over-activate your immune system, Proligna® helps optimize its natural balance, supporting both defense and recovery.
Why I Recommend ImmunExtra®
I love this product because it works — especially for parents who seem to catch every cold their kids bring home from school. In my practice, I’ve seen it help busy, stressed individuals avoid seasonal illnesses and stay healthier all year.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, healthcare worker, or anyone who can’t afford downtime, ImmunExtra® is a gentle yet powerful way to strengthen your Wei Qi — the protective “shield” described in Chinese Medicine — while being backed by modern scientific research.
