Chinese herbal medicine, also known as Purple Bead Leaf or Hemostatic Herb, is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for stopping bleeding. It can be used both externally and internally to alleviate various bleeding symptoms and also has the ability to disperse blood stasis and reduce swelling.
