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.
