There are herbs that Build the Blood, and there are herbs that Move the Blood.  And there are the herbs that Stop Bleeding. 

When treating bleeding problems with herbs, we must take into account the cause of the bleeding, the location of the bleeding, and the constitution of the patient. It must be kept in mind that most herbs used to stop bleeding can have a stagnating effect when used long term.

Herbal Formulas

Acute bleeding from trauma

Yunnan Baiyao is preferred for trauma induced bleeding.  This powder can be swallowed or applied topically.  Its exact formula is secret, but it's main ingredient is SAN QI, notoginseng or pseudoginseng root. SAN QI is quite effective even when used alone.  This powder was used by North Vietnamese soldiers to stem the bleeding of their gunshot wounds. Yunnan Baiyao is also used for chronic bleeding disorders.

Chronic bleeding disorders

These conditions require diagnosis according to the Four Examinations.

Cold induced bleeding is treated with warming herbs like AI YE (mugwort).

Inflamatory bleeding caused by heat (Reckless Marauding of Blood) is treated with herbs like CE BAI YE, HUAI HUA MI, DA JI.  These herbs can be combined with blood cooling substances, such as MU DAN PI, SHENG DI HUANG, AND CHI SHAO. 

When Blood Heat is combined with, or caused by Yin Deficiency, the above can be combined with E JIAO, HAN LIAN CAO, OR SHU DI HUANG.  When Spleen deficiency is the cause, herbs to tonify the Spleen are added to the formula.

Other herbs used to stop bleeding include: Human Hair (XUE YU TAN), Lotus Receptacle LIAN FANG, and pollen PU HUANG, but probably the most often used herb, which is useful for both traumatic bleeding, and deficiency caused bleeding disorders is Pseudognseng root SAN QI.

Chronic bleeding disorders require the attention of a Chinese herbologist.  Use the resource page to find one.
