What is golden hare's ear and why do people drink it? — Bupleurum aureum Fisch, hemp 50gr - LecraSet

Golden hare's ear (Bupleurum aureum) is a bitter herb traditionally used in herbal medicine. The LEKRASET product is 100% cut herb with no additives, flavourings or fillers — just the plant itself.

Bitter herbs have a characteristic feature: they act on the taste receptors and, through this mechanism, may increase the secretion of digestive juices. That is why infusions of such plants are traditionally drunk with meals — which is also what the manufacturer recommends. The description of golden hare's ear also mentions choleretic properties and an effect on the secretory function of the liver and pancreas.

This tea is most often chosen by those who want to add a herbal infusion with a pronounced bitter profile to their diet — as a herbal drink taken in courses or simply as an alternative to their usual tea. It is a single-herb tea with no blending, which is convenient if you want to know exactly what you are drinking.

It is important to understand that this is not a medicine but a herbal tea product. The manufacturer recommends consulting a doctor before use — especially if you have a chronic condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking medication.
