Scrophularia root (Scrophularia ningpoensis / Scrophularia nodosa)
Synopsis
Scrophularia root has been used in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western herbalism for its cooling, detoxifying, and anti-inflammatory properties. Scrophularia ningpoensis (Xuan Shen) is traditionally used to clear heat and nourish yin, supporting the throat, lymphatic system, and skin. Scrophularia nodosa, or common figwort, is used in Western herbalism for lymphatic stagnation, glandular swellings, and skin eruptions. Both forms are known for supporting immune health, detoxification, and glandular balance.
