Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Stellaria dichotoma, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as "Yin Chai Hu" (银柴胡), has a long history of use, particularly for clearing deficient heat and treating conditions such as fever due to yin deficiency in pediatric cases. However, its direct use for internal bleeding is less prominent in classical texts compared to herbs specifically categorized as hemostatics, like San Qi (Panax notoginseng) or Bai Mao Gen (Imperata cylindrica). Some traditional sources mention its use in managing symptoms that may accompany bleeding, such as fever or inflammation, rather than directly stopping hemorrhage. There is little to no modern pharmacological research or clinical trials validating the efficacy of Stellaria dichotoma specifically for treating internal bleeding. Its inclusion in formulas for certain bleeding-related conditions may be more related to its cooling properties and ability to support underlying conditions rather than direct hemostatic action. Overall, the evidence for its use in internal bleeding is primarily traditional and relatively weak, supported by historical usage patterns rather than robust scientific validation.
