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

    • Resolves fire toxicity and cools the blood: for damp-heat or fire toxin dysenteric disorders. Also for bloody or hot painful urinary dribbling. At present, primarily used for bacillary dysentery with incomplete bowel movements.*
    • Clears damp-heat and treats sores: primarily for fire toxin carbuncles or sores, as well as red-and-white vaginal discharge. For these purposes it is applied topically and taken internally. Often the fresh herb is used.*
    • Also used as an antidote for the pain and swelling of wasp stings and snakebite.*
    • Stops bleeding and unblocks painful urinary dribbling: for uterine bleeding (especially postpartum), painful bloody urinary dribbling, and hot painful urinary dribbling.*
