Rating (out of 5): 1

Lindera aggregata (also known as Wu Yao in traditional Chinese medicine) has a long history of use in East Asian herbal medicine, primarily for treating conditions related to qi stagnation, abdominal pain, and urinary issues. Its use in supporting or treating internal bleeding is not a primary historical indication, but some traditional sources mention its inclusion in formulas for blood-related disorders, where it is believed to "move blood" and "dispel cold." However, Lindera aggregata is not a classic or principal herb for stopping bleeding ("hemostatic" herbs) in traditional Chinese medicine; those roles are typically filled by other herbs such as San Qi (Panax notoginseng) or Pu Huang (Typha pollen). There is little to no scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for treating internal bleeding, and the available pharmacological research focuses more on its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties. Therefore, the use of Lindera aggregata for internal bleeding is supported minimally by tradition, and almost not at all by scientific studies.
