Artemisia capillaris herb

Ingredient Profile

Modern Research Perspective

Artemisia capillaris contains coumarins, flavonoids, volatile oils, and other constituents. Experimental studies have explored bile, hepatic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial pathways, but species, extraction, and dose affect results.

Human evidence is limited and indication-specific. Liver disease, allergy, interactions, pregnancy, dose, and long-term safety require professional evaluation.

Traditional Function

In traditional Chinese medicine, Artemisia capillaris Herb is bitter and slightly cold. It is used to clear damp-heat, promote bile flow, and address jaundice or damp-heat patterns. Its use requires differentiation from other Artemisia species and attention to liver context.
