No. I have never heard of it. I was supposed to be in a drug trial for a chinese herb a few years ago but my UC went into remission and I didn't qualify. This is a different herb. There are just so many, it would be hard to weed through and find an herb or combo of herbs that works.

Seasons,

No, I haven't heard of it.

But when you scroll down to ingredients:

Ingredients:
Secret, although raw Pseudoginseng Root is known to be the main ingredient.

Secret??? That alone would make me reticent.

I know you are grasping at straws as many of us have in a enduring a long bleeding flare... maybe do a google search on this product and see what reviews say about it?

Insofla,
It is pseudoginseng root and it's a VERY commonly used med and has been for almost a century in China (as common as asprin). Yes, we have at the advice of our first doctor of Chinese medicine (we have had five with some good results and some bad ones but I definitely am a fan of TCM I just believe it's a case of it not working for my daughter just as Western meds have not worked). We had some good success with YP at first but then as she fared more it failed to work despite us increasing her intake. I would try it.
If you can, I recommend seeking out a TCM practitioner who is experienced in treating AI disease/IBD instead of just taking random herbs (though I don't think it hurts at all to try YP).
Good luck and keep us posted.
