Xianhecao has astringent and contracting properties, and can stop bleeding. It is widely used for bleeding disorders in various parts of the body. Due to its mild nature, it can be used for both cold and hot bleeding diseases.
For bleeding disorders caused by blood heat and reckless bleeding, it can be used together with Shengdi, Cebaiye, Mudanpi, and other cooling and blood-stopping herbs.
