Xiaochaihu Keli

Xiaochaihu Keli is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal formulation in granule form, developed and marketed by Huabao Pharmaceutical. It is based on the classical 'Xiao Chai Hu Tang' (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) formula, which dates back to the Shanghan Lun. The formulation consists of seven primary herbal ingredients: *Bupleurum chinense* (chaihu), *Scutellaria baicalensis* (huangqin), *Pinellia ternata* (banxia), *Codonopsis pilosula* (dangshen), *Glycyrrhiza uralensis* (gancao), *Zingiber officinale* (shengjiang), and *Ziziphus jujuba* (dazao). In TCM practice, it is indicated for harmonizing the Shao Yang stage, typically presenting as alternating chills and fever, chest discomfort, bitterness in the mouth, and nausea. As a complex herbal product, its therapeutic effects are attributed to the synergistic action of various phytochemicals rather than a single molecular target.
