- Shi Liu Pi and Cx. Ailanthi Chun Pi both bind the Intestines to treat diarrhea and dysentery, stop bleeding, and kill parasites. Shi Liu Pi, sour, astringent, warm and restraining, has the stronger binding action and suits diarrhea, dysenteric disorders, incessant uterine bleeding and vaginal discharge stemming from Deficiency Cold; Chun Pi, bitter, astringent and cold, clears Heat and dries Dampness but astringes less powerfully than Shi Liu Pi, making it the better choice for dysenteric disorders, incessant uterine bleeding and vaginal discharge due to Damp-Heat or Heat.
- Charred Pomegranate Husks Shi Liu Pi Tan astringe and restrain more strongly, and are used mainly for chronic diarrhea, dysenteric disorders or incessant uterine bleeding.
