Rehmannia cools blood, Angelica harmonizes blood, White Peony lowers blood, and Donkey-hide gelatin embodies the nature of water, quietly flowing underground, able to conceal blood vessels—this is the most obvious effect. The magic lies in Astragalus, which gathers blood through its qi, preventing leakage. Red Poria drains water and regulates qi, drawing blood downward. However, if someone with weak qi takes Astragalus, it can stimulate and fill them up, while blood finds its proper place. If someone with strong qi takes it, it can help balance water with water, applying pressure to suppress blood from running wild. Therefore, those who use this formula should know how to adjust it accordingly.

[Note] This formula originates from "Shiyi De Xiao Fang." It cools blood, boosts qi, and stops bleeding. It can treat nosebleeds caused by qi deficiency and blood heat.
