Bletilla Rhizome is an herb that regulates blood and stops bleeding. It gently astringes bleeding while reducing swelling and generating flesh.
Primary Actions and Uses
- Restrains leakage of blood and stops bleeding: For hematemesis, hemoptysis, and traumatic bleeding, used internally or externally.
- Reduces swelling and generates flesh: Promotes healing of non-healing sores, ulcers, abscesses, burns, and chapped skin.
- Nourishes Yin, cools Heat, preserves fluids: Especially for bleeding in the lungs or stomach such as nosebleeds, bloody cough, or vomit.
Context and Traditional Notes
- Bitter, sweet, astringent; slightly cool in temperature; enters the Lung, Stomach, and Liver channels within the TCM category of herbs that regulate blood: herbs that stop bleeding.
- Frequently used both internally and topically—for example, as a powder applied directly to wounds or included in formulas for pulmonary or gastric bleeding.
- Often compared with San Qi for traumatic bleeding; Bai Ji is especially valued for bleeding in the upper body and for wounds requiring tissue regeneration.
