Medicinal Action

Hemostatic
Hemostatic agents work by facilitating the coagulation process, reducing blood flow, or sealing injured blood vessels. These remedies are often applied topically to wounds or taken internally for internal bleeding when appropriate. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a traditional hemostatic herb that helps stop bleeding and promotes wound healing. Shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is effective for reducing both internal and external bleeding, particularly in cases of heavy menstrual flow. Cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum), though warming, can help stop bleeding by promoting clotting and enhancing circulation to damaged tissue. These herbs provide natural support for managing bleeding and promoting recovery while maintaining tissue health.
