[Comment] Notoginseng is sweet, slightly bitter, warm. It is an excellent hemostatic herb. As recorded in *Compendium of Materia Medica*: "stops bleeding, disperses blood... for uncontrolled bleeding... vomiting blood, bloody stool, dysentery, metrorrhagia, irregular menstruation, postpartum lochia not discharged." Combined with chicken, it tonifies qi and nourishes blood, enabling this formula to resolve stasis without injuring qi. Use with caution in cases of blood deficiency without stasis.
