VB: Sheng Di Yu or Chao Tan Di Yu

[Guest guest]

Hi All

 

To stop bleeding from the lower Jiao, would you use Sheng Di Yu or the

prepared form Chao Tan Di Yu?

 

I have always thought that the prepared form (Tan) is better when dealing

with bleeding disorders and this is also stated in Benskys Materia Medica

3rd edition, but when reading the book " An Introduction to the use of

Processed CM " by P. Sionneau, he states that

 

" Modern research has clearly shown that its hemostatic effects are superior

when used in its uncooked form ie Sheng Di Yu "

 

Can someone shed some light on this?
