Sophora Radix is indicated for the treatment of wind-heat and dampness, congestion of the intestinal tract, and damage to the blood channels, which may be seen as bleeding before stool, or bleeding after stool, or blood in feces. Sophora Radix is used for treating wind-heat and dampness-poison, congestion of the intestines, and damage to the blood channels. Symptoms include bleeding before defecation, bleeding after defecation, or blood in feces, as well as bleeding hemorrhoids with bright red or dark blood. This formula is used in treating hemorrhoids, colitis or other cases of blood in stools due to wind-heat or damp-heat evil and poison, which congests the intestinal tract and damages the veins and collaterals. This formula is cold in nature and should not be taken for a long time. It should not be used if the blood in the stool for a long time belongs to qi or yin deficiency, or if the spleen and stomach are weak. If you need to use Sophora Radix, it should be applied under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
