Sun Ten Chai Hu Shu Gan Tang | Bupleurum & Cyperus Combination Granules | 柴胡疏肝湯 / Default Title

Chai Hu Shu Gan Tang is a traditional granule formula built around bupleurum and cyperus root, made for everyday balance.

This one goes back a long way. Bupleurum and cyperus root have been paired together in traditional formulas for centuries, long before anyone thought to put them in a foil packet with a scoop of granulated convenience. Sun Ten takes that old formula and turns it into something you can actually make in your kitchen without a mortar, a pestle, or a several-hour commitment to boiling roots on the stove. You just add hot water. That's the whole ritual. It dissolves, you drink it, you go about your day like a person who has their life somewhat together.

What's Actually Going On Here

"Chai Hu Shu Gan Tang" translates roughly to a formula meant to help things move smoothly, which is a very polite way of describing what traditional practitioners have used it for: supporting a calm, relaxed mood and helping maintain digestive comfort when daily stress throws things a little off rhythm. It's not a mood ring. It's not a magic switch. It's an herbal formula, taken as part of a normal routine, that supports the body's own balance instead of overriding it.

Bupleurum root is the traditional anchor ingredient here, historically used to support smooth qi movement (the TCM way of describing balanced internal flow). Cyperus root traditionally rounds it out, supporting digestive comfort and a settled, even temperament. Together they've been formulated the way traditional Chinese medicine likes to formulate things: not one ingredient doing everything, but a few working in the same direction.

Why Granules, Specifically

Granules are just concentrated herbal extract that's been dried down into something spoon-shaped instead of leaf-shaped. You're not steeping bark for twenty minutes and hoping your kitchen doesn't start smelling like a forest floor. You're dissolving a measured amount into hot water and drinking it like tea that skipped a few steps. Less ceremony, same formula.

Who This Is For

People who already know what Chai Hu Shu Gan Tang is and were looking for it by name, mostly. If that's you, welcome, you've found it. If you're newer to traditional Chinese herbal formulas, this is a well-established one worth reading up on, taken as part of a broader daily wellness routine rather than as a stand-in for one.
