Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi Eric Excellent answer! Thanks!

According to Chinese materia medicas, sheng (raw) di yu is a blood-cooling blood-stanching medicinal. Di yu tan (charred) is an astringent blood-stanching medicinal. The medicinal action of di yu is said to change based on its pao zhi. When you want it to be an herb that stops bleeding by astringency, use it charred. When you want it to be an herb that stops bleeding by cooling the blood, use it raw. So to answer your question about which form is best for bleeding in the lower burner, it depends on the cause of the bleeding.
