Classical Text References

  • Traditional references describe Zong Lv Pi as bitter, astringent, and neutral, entering the Liver and Spleen to arrest bleeding.
  • The medicinal material is the fibrous petiole or sheath layer of Trachycarpus fortunei rather than the seed, fruit, or ornamental palm canopy.
  • This page keeps the monograph narrow because its traditional identity is more about astringent hemostasis than about broad systemic pharmacology.
