I mean, does it pose any toxicity issues for a newborn child if a nursing mother

takes it?

Since the ingredients are somewhat mysterious, does anybody have experience

using it in this kind of situation?

From the standpoint of personal safety, I would use it on myself.

From a legal standpoint, I would not use it...since the ingredients are not

fully known.

Instead, consider using a formula containing Radix Notoginseng/San Qi and follow

the cautions and contraindications of that/those herbs.

What would be the indication for giving it to the mother of a newborn? There

are plenty of classic formulas to resolve post partum bleeding that have no

contraindications to a newborn. Sheng Hua Tang is the first one that comes to

mind...

The ingredients listed aren't the real ingredients, they are just jumping

through the hoops to slide under the FDA radar. Actually, contrary to popular

belief, the main ingredient isn't even San Qi.

Not San qi??? wow.

That's an uncomfortable feeling, those scales falling off the

eyes...sort of like contact lenses cracking... :-(

Just out of curiosity, Leon Hammer related to me on several occasions Dr. John

Shen's story regarding the history of Yunan Bai Yao. Supposedly, the original

man who wrote the formula had followed many injured animals through the forest

to observe what herbs they ate in an attempt to heal and so constructed a

complex formula. The Chinese communists tortured the family who knew the formula

into relinquishing it but they gave the formula only partially.

 

I'm wondering if anyone has any notion if any part of this story is true. I have

no opinion but use the formula often and would like to know anything about it's

history I could find out.

Eric,

 

Qi Li San is given for all kinds of injuries. Therefore, I suspect that it

provided the inspiration for Yunnan Bai Yao.

 

If you would rather not discuss this further in an open forum, please send me an

email.

 

With dignity and honor,

Robert Asbridge

Now we need a thread called " What The Heck is Up with Yunnan Baiyao? "

Any further info that you could provide Eric would be appreciated.

For example, are you saying there has been some kind of chemical assay to

establish the relative dearth of San Qi in the formula...

 

Thank you,

D.O.D.

When I worked at a major herb company a few years ago, for a few months we

were out of Yunnan pai yao,

so we suggested that people take the unprocessed San Qi capsules (50%

concentrated powder/ 50% raw powder) instead.

The feedback was that the San qi caps worked just as good as YPY.

Mainly vets use a lot of this formula for horses hooves bleeding etc.

One of my teachers from Hong Kong did extensive research on the chemistry and

composition of Yunnan Baiyao. The formulation of Yunnan Baiyao is a protected

secret so it isn't really appropriate for me to discuss his research results on

a public forum like CHA. However, suffice to say that San Qi is not its main

ingredient, and it isn't related to Qi Li San. Of course, San Qi powder can be

used on its own for bleeding just like Yunnan Baiyao, but San Qi and Yunnan

Baiyao are not interchangeable.

 

Yunnan Baiyao used to be a local medicine that relied on a family recipe from

Yunnan province, and it is believed to contain a variety of local medicinals

beyond the standard Chinese herbs common in international commerce. One of its

main ingredients is something that we are familiar with but it is likely that it

has other active ingredients that are more obscure. I'm sorry that I can't say

more about it but it wouldn't be respectful of my teacher's work to go blabbing

about it, and I don't know all the details myself in the first place.

Eric,

there are a lot of fakes out there, but one was very popular until a few

years ago,

when the official company sued it and took it off the market in the U.S.

Does anyone remember the name of it? It had pink colored writing, instead

of blue.

 

The official one is:

Yunnan Bai Yao Capsules - small

Yunnan Bai Yao

 

 

 

Standard Dosage:

1-2 capsules 4 x day. Use topically or internally for trauma

 

Ingredients:

Proprietary formula, Panax notoginseng root, Ajuga forrestii herb, Dioscorea

opposita rhizome, Dioscorea nipponica root, Erodium stephanianum herb,

Dioscorea parviflora rhizome, Inula cappa herb. - ingredients undisclosed.,

Tian san qi, San yu cao, Shan yao, Chuan shan long, Lao guan cao, Ku liang

jiang, Bai niu dan.

 

Cautions & Contraindications:

Contraindicated during pregnancy.

 

http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/english/200110/19/eng20011019_82703.html

 

Is the primary ingredient Shan yao?

That would make sense, because it's a less expensive ingredient and is still

astringent.

San Qi is quite expensive.

Hi, 

I have the Yunnan Bai Yao in the blue and white box with the same ingredients. 

It contains a small red pill in addition to the capsules.  Any idea what the

difference/ingredients is/are between the capsules and the red pill?

Inquisitively,

Dianne

I buy the one in the blue and white box that lists ingreds but the first one is

" proprietary blend " , 500 mg of it. I'll admit, I take it myself but am wary of

prescribing it because pts often want to know what is in what we prescribe.
