Bai Ji (白芨, Rhizoma Bletillae) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb most commonly used for its hemostatic (stopping bleeding) and wound healing properties. In the context of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Bai Ji is sometimes incorporated into formulas addressing leucorrhea (abnormal vaginal discharge), particularly when the discharge is thought to stem from dampness or heat causing erosion or ulceration of the vaginal or cervical mucosa, or when there is bleeding involved. The rationale is that Bai Ji’s astringent and tissue-repairing qualities can help reduce excessive discharge and promote healing of mucosal tissues. However, this use is based on historical TCM theory and empirical practice rather than modern scientific research. There is a lack of high-quality clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly evaluating Bai Ji's efficacy for treating leucorrhea specifically. Most available scientific reports focus on its hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing effects, mainly in the context of skin or gastric ulcers. Therefore, while Bai Ji’s use for leucorrhea is rooted in tradition and TCM literature, its direct application for this condition is not strongly supported by contemporary scientific evidence.
