Sanchi

Traditional Use

Primary Actions

• Stops bleeding without causing blood stasis ... San Qi is one of the classic Chinese hemostatics for traumatic bleeding and internal bleeding when bruising, clots, or stagnant blood are part of the pattern.
• Invigorates blood and alleviates pain ... chest pain, fixed abdominal pain, menstrual stasis, and post-traumatic pain all fall within the herb's core lane.
• Reduces swelling and helps repair damaged tissue ... it is widely used for contusions, fractures, sprains, and other injuries where swelling and pain follow blood extravasation.

Secondary Actions

• This is the main `San Qi` page for accepted Panax notoginseng, while the `Han San Qi` sibling preserves an alternate trade-name lane of the same species.
• The content emphasis here stays closer to the cleaner canonical dispensing identity of San Qi root rather than the fuller root-cluster-forward presentation used on the alias page.

Classic Formulas

• Single-herb San Qi powder ... a classic pragmatic approach for trauma and bleeding patterns.
• Qi Li San ... trauma formula logic built around stopping bleeding, dispersing stasis, and relieving pain.
• Yunnan Bai Yao style hemostatic-trauma combinations ... the best-known modern continuation of the San Qi tradition.

Classical References

• Traditional herbology treats San Qi as one of the rare substances that both stop bleeding and disperse stasis, which explains its prestige in trauma medicine.
• The 2010 Chinese Pharmacopoeia tradition places San Qi among warm sweet slightly bitter blood-regulating roots entering the Liver and Stomach.
• The herb's reputation centers on blood-level regulation and trauma support, not on general ginseng-style Qi tonification.
