Notes from my files on Sanqi are below. They say that it is both a

Haemostat AND a Move Xue Herb. It is used in clinically

haemorrhage AND in Xue Stasis.

 

I would appreciate it if CHM experts would discuss the apparent

paradox whereby an herb may be a Haemostat AND a Move Xue

Herb at the same time, and also discuss the risk of inducing

haemorrhage or blood clots if used inappropriately in patients

predisposed to those disorders.

 

Best regards,

Phil
