Can you use Yunnan Baiyao for traumatic injuries?

Yunnan Baiyao can be used for traumatic injuries because it is a proprietary Chinese medicine that has the ability to stop bleeding. However, if the wound is deep or bleeding is severe, it is not appropriate to use Yunnan Baiyao. This requires prompt examination at a hospital, where the doctor will probe for tendon damage or organ damage and give related treatment such as debridement and dressing changes, and sometimes a tetanus shot to prevent serious complications if the wound is contaminated. After the injury, the local can first use drier gauze or paper for compression to stop bleeding, and then promptly go to the hospital for treatment. Sometimes the bleeding is more severe, a large amount of Yunnan Baiyao can be applied to form a scab to stop the bleeding, while pressure is applied to stop the bleeding at the proximal vessels, and a timely visit to the hospital is made.
