Nosebleed belongs to the categories of “epistaxis” and “epistaxis” in Chinese medicine. The combination of Lotus root, Rhizoma coptidis and Rehmannia glutinosa can be used to treat convulsions with nosebleed, but it is difficult to generalize the efficacy of treatment due to the condition of the patient and other factors, so the effect of diagnosis and treatment is more effective.
Lotus root saves energy to stop bleeding by astringency (using drugs with astringent effect to treat bleeding conditions) and resolves blood stasis, and can treat epistaxis (bleeding from the nose), vomiting blood, urinating blood, and metrorrhagia (excessive menstrual flow or dripping) and other bleeding conditions. Lotus root should be used cautiously at the beginning of hemorrhage and for those with solid evil.
Commiphora root can clear heat and diuretic, cool blood and stop bleeding, and can be used in treating epistaxis, blood in urine, coughing blood and other bleeding syndromes caused by blood-heat paranoia (abnormal blood movement out of the body due to heat evil). It is contraindicated for those with deficiency and coldness in the spleen and stomach, and those who have a prevalence of Yang in their bodies. When the two herbs are combined, epistaxis and hematemesis can be treated.
Rehmannia glutinosa has the efficacy of promoting the production of body fluid to quench thirst, quenching vomiting and diuresis, removing vexation, clearing heat and diarrhea, and is used as the main treatment for a variety of diseases such as coughing due to lung-heat, vomiting due to gastric-heat, vexation and thirst due to heat illness, hot gonorrhea (burning, hot, stabbing and obvious pain in urination, accompanied by frequent urination and urgency, and discomfort of pulling in the abdomen) and astringent pain. People with deficiency and coldness in the spleen and stomach should be cautious in using Rehmannia glutinosa.
The adverse effects of the above drugs are not known. Although Lotus root and 白茅根 can treat epistaxis caused by solid and hot syndromes, there is a possibility that it may not be a complete cure for certain severe conditions. They should not be taken indiscriminately and should only be used under the supervision of a doctor.
Patients who feel unwell are advised to seek prompt medical consultation to identify the cause of the disease and standardize the treatment.
