Limonite … Classic Formulas
Yu Yu Liang · Limonitum
Primary Actions
- Astringes the intestines and arrests chronic diarrhea - Yu Yu Liang is one of the classic mineral binders for unremitting diarrhea and dysentery from deficiency and intestinal slipping.
- Stops bleeding - older indications include blood in the stool, uterine bleeding, and other lower-body bleeding patterns where containment rather than dispersal is needed.
- Stops leucorrhea - it is also used for chronic discharge when weakness of the lower burner allows persistent leakage.
Classic Formulas
- Chi Shi Zhi Yu Yu Liang Tang - the defining classical formula for unresolved chronic diarrhea after mistaken purgation or intestinal weakness.
- Yu Yu Liang with Chi Shi Zhi - the standard pair for chronic diarrhea, dysentery, and prolapsing lower-burner leakage.
- Yu Yu Liang with astringent hemostatics - traditional logic for persistent uterine bleeding or leucorrhea when the pattern is one of failure to secure.
Classical Text References

- The herb is reserved for chronic slippery conditions, not for acute excess disorders that still need clearing or venting.
- This page keeps the canonical `Yu Yu Liang` naming layer explicit so the library can preserve both the main name and the imported alias without pretending they are different herbs.
