Artemisia capillaris is a delicate, feathery-leaved member of the daisy family prized in TCM for clearing damp-heat and promoting bile flow, particularly for jaundice and liver inflammation. Its bitter, slightly aromatic aerial parts contain compounds that stimulate hepatic and biliary function, making it a cornerstone herb for treating cholecystitis and hepatitis in traditional Asian medicine.
