What is Isatis Root or Leaf?

In western medicine, the herb is effective when used to treat the common cold and flu symptoms, including fever and upper respiratory problems, such as a sore throat.

How Does Isatis Root or Leaf Work?

Isatis Root or Leaf, or Ban Lan Gen (Isatis Root) or Da Qing Ye (Isatis leaf) in Chinese, is a biennial plant that is primarily used during the cold and flu season. It is an integral part of both Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacopeia and native to India and China. The roots and leaves of the plant are preferred for their antiseptic, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antipyretic, and antiviral qualities.

Both the leaves and root enter the Stomach, Lung, and Heart channels and help cool the blood, relieve toxicity, and clear heat. This attribute makes Isatis highly effective when used to treat warm-febrile epidemic outbreaks and diseases, especially after its extraordinary performance during the Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak.

• Tonsillitis
• Laryngitis
• Scarlet fever
• Meningitis
• Hepatitis
• Leukemia
• Blood poisoning
• Viral illness
• Mumps
• Fever

Although Isatis root is most commonly used, the leaves are often blended in Isatis root formulas when treating upper respiratory infections is required. This is because Da Qing Ye tends to direct Chi (aka Qi) to the middle section and the upper respiratory system of the body.

The way the substances in Isatis root and leaves act is remarkable as they attack the pathogens in bacteria and viruses which enter the human body and induce a rise in body temperature and then kill those pathogens as a means to reduce fever.
