Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hi All, & Sagiv, Dr. Sagiv Ben-Yakir wrote: " Yunnan Baiyao is our prime remedy for skin lacerations in horses. Owner can spread the powder on the area twice/day for 5 days. For these horses we supply the remedy in cased sets of 10 bottles X 4g each. Another option is to buy Yunnan Baiyao-impregnated gauze for application to the area. Change tha gauze once/day for 5 days. Skin regeneration is quick and the skin is very clean and flat after washing off the powder on the 6th day. We tried Yunnan Baiyao a few times without success for internal bleeding. Eventually we found that we were dealing with von Willebrandt disease (an inherited blood-clotting defect). IMO, that is a bad indication for Yunnan Baiyao " . Phil's comment: Many thanks, Sagiv.

However, based on their own experience, herbalists may recommend herbs that strengthen blood vessels and act as astringents (causing contraction) to make bleeding less severe, such as the following: Bilberryfruit (Vaccinium myrtillus) Grapeseed extract (Vitis vinifera) Hawthornberry (Crategus monogyna) Horsechestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) Witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana) Yarrow(Achillea millefolium) In the case of hemophilia, however, herbal remedies should not be used without the guidance of an appropriately trained health professional. In addition, people with hemophilia should avoid ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), as it reduces platelet clumping. Homeopathy: There have been few studies examining the effectiveness of specific homeopathic remedies. However, a review of several case reports found that the following remedies were helpful for individuals with hemophilia and even reduced their need for blood-clotting substances like factor VIII. Before prescribing a remedy, homeopaths take into account a person's constitutional type. In homeopathic terms, a person's constitution is his or her physical, emotional, and intellectual makeup. An experienced homeopath assesses all of these factors as well as any current symptoms when determining the most appropriate remedy for a particular person.
