Traditional Uses: Traditionally used in European, Asian, and Native American folk medicine as a powerful astringent and hemostatic to stop internal and external bleeding, particularly for heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), postpartum hemorrhage, and nosebleeds, as well as a diuretic for urinary tract infections and kidney complaints.
Potential Benefits: Clinical research indicates it may be effective in reducing the volume of heavy menstrual bleeding and postpartum hemorrhage, while also exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties.
Warnings: AVOID during pregnancy (stimulates uterine contractions and may cause miscarriage) and while breastfeeding; use with caution in individuals with thyroid disorders, kidney disease, or taking blood thinners and sedatives; high doses may cause heart palpitations.
