Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Therapeutic Actions of Lian Xu:

Lian Xu consolidates jing (essence) to reinforce the Kidney. It is stronger than Lian Xi (lotus seed) in its astringency, but without the tonic effects of that herb.

Lian Xu clears the Heart and stabilizes shen (spirit) and stops excessive dreaming at night.

Lian Xu stops bleeding and treats such bleeding disorders as epistaxis, hematemesis, and profuse uterine bleeding.

–safety/clinical notes:

Contraindicated for persons with abdominal distention and constipation.
