Hairy Vein Agrimony Classic Formulas

Primary Actions

Astringes to stop bleeding in many locations - classically used for hemoptysis, hematemesis, epistaxis, uterine bleeding, blood in the stool, and chronic leaking-type hemorrhage when a neutral hemostatic that can be used in both Heat and deficiency contexts is needed.
Stops dysentery and secures the intestines - chosen for chronic diarrhea, bloody dysentery, and lingering intestinal leakage patterns in which Damp-Heat or weakness has damaged the bowel's ability to contain fluids and blood.
Relieves deficiency and restores strength - although classed as a hemostatic, Xian He Cao is also famous for treating exhaustion, overwork, post-illness weakness, spontaneous sweating, and other depleted states where bleeding or leakage coexists with fatigue.
Treats malaria and summerheat-type depletion - traditional usage extends to malarial disorders, recurrent fever patterns, and lingering summerheat injury when the patient has been drained by chronic disease and needs a stabilizing yet not cloying herb.

San Xian Tang (三仙汤) - modern-famous fatigue formula associated with Gan Zuwang in which Xian He Cao pairs with Xian Ling Pi and Xian Mao to address chronic exhaustion with underlying Yang weakness.
Xian He Cao with Da Zao - classic folk pairing for overwork, post-illness weakness, spontaneous sweating, and poor stamina, using the herb's astringing and mild tonic qualities together.
Xian He Cao with E Jiao - traditional strategy for chronic uterine, intestinal, or Lung bleeding when blood must be stopped and replenished at the same time.
Xian He Cao with Bai Mao Gen - common pairing for hematuria, epistaxis, or intestinal bleeding with Heat signs, combining Xian He Cao's broad hemostatic action with a cooling urination-promoting herb.

Me & Qi records Xian He Cao as neutral, bitter, and astringing, entering the Lung, Liver, and Spleen channels, with core actions of stopping bleeding, stopping dysentery, relieving deficiency, and treating malaria.
Historical summaries place the herb under the older name Long Ya Cao in Ben Cao Tu Jing and describe the later folk name Xian He Cao as arising from its long reputation for stopping nosebleeds and restoring strength.
