Buddlejae Flos (Buddleja officinalis Maxim.)

Nature and flavour. Sweet, slightly cold; Liver system.

Classically described as clearing heat while nourishing the Liver, brightening the eyes and removing corneal opacity. It is the eye herb chosen where the complaint is described as Liver heat, and also where dim vision is attributed to Liver blood failing to reach the eyes.

性味归经。甘,微寒;归肝经。

传统记载为清热养肝、明目退翳。用于肝热所致目疾,也用于肝血不能上荣于目所致的目昏。

Classical category · no formulas, no dosages, no herb-drug combinations are given.
Safety. Slightly cold in nature. Classically avoided where eye complaints come from Liver and Kidney deficiency rather than from heat. Avoid in pregnancy and breastfeeding; insufficient reliable human safety data. Eye symptoms that persist or worsen should be assessed by an eye professional.

性微寒。传统列为肝肾不足而非有热所致的目疾不宜。孕期与哺乳期避免使用;人体安全性数据不充分。目疾持续或加重应就医评估。
