    Cirsium Thistle cools heat in the blood, stops bleeding, resolves toxicity, restrains and inhibits - Bensky


    Excerpted from Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, 3rd ed.

    • Cools the blood and stops bleeding: especially for bleeding in the lower burner due to damp-heat with such symptoms as blood in the stool, bleeding hemorrhoids, bloody dysenteric disorders, and excessive uterine bleeding. Also used for vomiting blood and nosebleed.*
    • Clears heat and generates flesh: applied topically for sores, ulcers, and injuries from burns. It both reduces the oozing by holding in the fluids, and promotes the generation of new flesh. Often used for burns.*
