Radix Scrophulariae Extract: A Comprehensive Overview
Introduction
Radix Scrophulariae, derived from the dried root of Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsl. (family Scrophulariaceae), is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Known as "Xuanshen" in Chinese, it has been utilized for over 2,000 years for its heat-clearing, blood-cooling, yin-nourishing, and detoxifying properties. Modern research has validated its efficacy in treating inflammatory, cardiovascular, and endocrine disorders, positioning it as a vital herbal extract in both clinical practice and pharmaceutical applications.
Botanical and Traditional Context
Scrophularia ningpoensis is a perennial herb native to East Asia, particularly China. Its roots, harvested in autumn, are processed into Radix Scrophulariae, which is bitter, sweet, and salty in taste, with a cold nature. Traditionally, it addresses conditions like sore throat, abscesses, and heat-induced diseases, reflecting TCM principles of balancing "Yin" and "Yang". The extract is now globally recognized for its multifaceted therapeutic roles.
