Anya replies: Yes, the abilty to staunch bleeding was explained to me by my acupuncturist when he gave me the stuff. That is why I mentioned the Chinese solidiers taking it into battle --- but -- as you also mention - wounds - as in, to treat infections and all their symptoms. As I mentioned, I had a terrible fingernail/nailbed infection. The area was oozing water, not pus (that had been months before, the tip was red and swollen, the nail was raising up, it was very bad.) The alcohol preparation of Yunan Baiyao (many spellings) stopped the problem immediately, and within two day my finger was healed. He instructed me to keep using it for a week. The problem has never reoccurred. The OP had blistering and oozing (as did I) and I believe the preparation could help. yes, the formula is 'secret', and it does contain various ginsengs, and it works. It's also very inexpensive, so there is no big problem, IMO. There are other uses my acupuncturist told me about, but they are no relevant to this poster's problem. http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend believes this person is pre-diabetic, has no health insurance, and was really suffering with a big, weepy sore (from an injury). My friend, a good herbalist, provided her with the usualy battery of herbal goodies but there was no real progress. She believed that the lady may not have taken the tinctures and capsules as instructed, nor applied the powdered herbs, etc., because, as we all know, some people are resistant to this. The lady did go to the ER finally, they gave her powerful antibiotics that made her very sick, so she stopped taking them. All this in the course of a few days before I heard about it. I told my friend to check with the pharmacies in Chinatown in Honolulu for the Yunnan Baiyao tincture that I wrote about here on the list. She said, " hmm, you sent me a bottle of that once, I have it here somewhere, never used it. " I encouraged her to let the lady have some of it, and just have her dab it on with cotton, or put some light gauze on and pour the stuff on and replenish ever so often. Two days later, the lady's infection is GONE, and her leg is 95% healed up, the wound is closed and almost all gone. I asked my friend to still look in Chinatown, since the stuff is hard to find here in Miami. I've been searching for it for a year with no luck. Yesterday I sent my mother to the local acupuncturist's offices with the name written down, and she found some! $9/bottle for 50 ml, a ripoff, but we paid it gladly. I had gotten it once from a grocery store for $3, but can't find it anymore. I'm now going to do a websearch. The box and bottle are all in Chinese. The pamphlet inside has some English, and they don't list the use that I just told you about, which is strange. The contradict a bit of Michelle's description of the use of Yunnan Baiyao also, but she was talking about the powder, not the alcoholic tincture. Here's some of the info. It's going to be tedious for me to read the little red lettering, but I want this info in the archives, as I believe this stuff is wonderful, and I will always try to have some in my herbal first aid kit from now on: Pharmacological Effects: 1. Anti-inflammation: Demonstrating significant inhibitory effect on swelling of ariule of mice induced by inflammation genesis agents. 2. Promoting blood flow to eliminate blood stasis. 3. Analgesis effect Function and Indication: Promoting blood flow to eliminate blood stasis, promiting subsidence of swelling and analgesic, used for treatment of traumatic injury, numbness due to wind - dampness, pain of muscle, bone and joint, aaching pain of muscle and cold injury, etc. Administration and Dosage (I'm skipping a lot of this. They recommend it be taken internally for some things, but since I was never instructed to do that, I'd say check with your TCM doctor before ingesting. I just soaked my infected finger, and it was miraculous. Contraindication Contraindicated in pregnant women, no use for individuals with an allergic reaction to alcohol. I'm going to do a websearch for more info on this, especially where to purchase. Great, great stuff. http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is a situation where it would be appropriate- a wound. >The box and bottle are all in Chinese.

The contradict a bit of Michelle's description of the use of >Yunnan Baiyao also, but she was talking about the powder, not the >alcoholic tincture. As I stated last time we discussed this- It is a preparation of mostly Tienchi Ginseng, or Panax notoginseng. It is an amazing herb- It has been used for traumatic injuries and things such as joint pain from stagnation, as well as crohns disease and for lowering blood pressure. I personally would choose to use Panax notoginseng that I purchased from a reputable source- like an acupuncturist or one of the reputable chinese herb suppliers like Mayway or Golden Flower. The traditional formula does have some undisclosed ingredients. I am frequently wary of chinese patents- unless I know the manufacturer- and even then...they are often bootlegged and sold in Chinatown. There have been studies done on some patents that have had pharmaceuticals in them- like acetaminophen,chlorpheniramine(a decongestant and antihistamine)and others, in some " herbal " patent formulas like the ever popular " Yin Chiao " - this is why they must be purchased from a reputable supplier- or you may not be getting what you think you are! ----------- Here's some of the info.
