Yunnan Paiyao (or Baiyao) is a popular over-the-counter Chinese herbal medicine used throughout Asia to stop hemorrhage from wounds and heal internal bleeding. It is also very good for stomack and intestinal ulcers, inflammations, skin rashes, wounds, burns, etc. It contains vegetarian ingredients including tienchi ginseng, myrrh, and an astringent herb dragon blood that helps to heal blood vessels, reduce pain, bruising and swelling and speed healing. The herbal capsules come in a sheet with a small red pill that can be easily swallowed in an emergency or before surgery.
Yunnan Baiyao can be used internally or externally. When you have aserious wound the first thing you should do is swallow several capsules.If you are attending someone who cannot swallow, for example someone gravely injured who is unconscious but bleeding profusely, you can pour it directly into the wounds and apply pressure to the wound. In an emergency situation don’t worry about cleaning out the wound first. However, if the bleeding is not a life or death situation then clean the wound out before sprinkling the Yunnan Baiyao in it. In most cases, you’ll be amazed at how fast the bleeding stops. Yunnan Baiyao can also be used for nosebleeds, recovery after dental procedures or surgery, and gynecological problems such as heavy periods or a prolonged menstrual cycle. The little red pill that comes with Yunnan Baiyao is useful in case where the person is going into Shock.
If police and ambulance doctors carried Yunnan Paiyao capsules–as the Chinese Army does—they may be able to save more lives.
