Belonging to the Artemisia genus of the Asteraceae family, Artemisia Capillaris (Yin Chen Hao) was first documented in the Shennong Ben Cao Jing. It is characterized by its clear, aromatic, and slightly bitter flavor, entering the spleen, stomach, liver, and gallbladder meridians. Known for its ability to clear damp-heat and promote bile flow to relieve jaundice, Artemisia Capillaris is prized for its tender texture, soft gray-green hue, and intense fragrance. Traditional texts state that it dispels wind, dampness, cold, and heat as well as resolves stagnation and jaundice. Tao Hongjing remarked that its tightly arranged, fine leaves endure through autumn and winter and then revive vibrantly in spring—a testament to its inherent vitality. Modern research confirms that Artemisia Capillaris provides liver protection, bile regulation, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic benefits.
