CO2 extracted Psoralea fruit

Fructus Psoralaea grows wild throughout China, liking warm, humid, sunny environments on mountain slopes, by streams and in fields. The dried ripe finely-wrinkled fruit has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of Kidney Yang deficiency. The fruit is harvested in the Autumn, after absorbing the fullness of summer’s heat, and is dried in the sun attesting to its warm Yang townifying nature.

The aroma of our CO2 extracted Bu Gu Zhi essential oil is warm, sweet, and bitter with a luscious cinnamon salted-butter undertone. This smooth, silky oil has a glowing amber-chocolate color. Bu Gu Zhi is bitter and pungent to the taste and reinforces the Kidneys and strengthens the Yang.

Bu Gu Zhi is literally translates as “tonify the bone tallow,” suggesting that the herb and its essential oil function to nourish and strengthen the bones and enrich the marrow. Since the bones are ruled by the Kidneys in Chinese medicine, ancient herbalists revered Bu Gu Zhi as a rich, mineralizing source of vitalizing the Kidneys.

Bu Gu Zhiwarms the Dan Tian, revitalizes Kidney Yang, consolidates Essence, and retains urine. As such it can be used for issues such as impotence, spermatorrhea, urinary incontinence and frequent urination while Its warming nature addresses cold and pain in the low back and returns fire to the Ming Men.

Bu Gu Zhi’s action of warming the Kidney Yang directly supports the Spleen, consequently acting to improve digestion and absorption, deal with diarrhea, borborygmus, bloating, and poor appetite typical of Spleen deficiency.

Another attribute of the Kidney Qi is to “grasp” the Lung Qi. Therefore Bu Gu Zhi helps anchor the breath upon inhalation when deficiency causes asthmatic difficulty.

The Kidney essence, along with the blood supports the growth of healthy hair. Adding Bu Gu Zhi essential oil to a hair treatment regimen helps to promote growth of healthy, lustrous hair.

There have been promising clinical studies using Bu Gu Zhi to treat vitiligo and alopecia.
