Capillary Artemisia (Artemisia capillaris), also known as Yin Chen Hao in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has a long history of use in East Asian herbal medicine, primarily for liver disorders, jaundice, and promoting bile secretion. Its use in the context of anemia is primarily based on traditional practices, not robust scientific validation. In TCM, anemia-like symptoms (such as fatigue and pallor) are sometimes addressed with formulas containing Artemisia capillaris, based on its perceived ability to "clear heat" and support liver function, which is considered important for healthy blood.

However, there is limited direct scientific evidence supporting Artemisia capillaris as a treatment for anemia. Most modern research focuses on its hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and cholagogue effects rather than any impact on hematopoiesis or hemoglobin levels. Some animal studies suggest that extracts of Artemisia capillaris may have mild antioxidant effects, but there is no strong clinical data demonstrating efficacy for anemia in humans. Thus, its use for anemia is supported mainly by traditional concepts rather than scientific trials or established pharmacological mechanisms.

In summary, while Capillary Artemisia is utilized in traditional medicine systems to support symptoms that could overlap with anemia, there is little scientific validation for its direct use in treating or supporting anemia.
