- Bai Tou Weng, Fr. Bruceae Ya Dan Zi and Hb. Portulacae Ma Chi Xian all clear Heat, resolve toxicity and treat dysenteric disorders, and are combined together for bleeding dysenteric disorders caused by Heat toxin. Ma Chi Xian is used mainly for red dysenteric disorders with mucus and blood, in part because it cools the Blood and stops bleeding; Ya Dan Zi mainly for dysenteric disorders that swing between mild and severe or appear resolved only to recur; Bai Tou Weng covers both presentations.
