Agrimony was first recorded in "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica". It is a commonly used hemostatic drug and is suitable for bleeding in various parts of the body. "Song of Medicinal Properties" sings: "Agrimony is astringent, astringent and replenishing, bleeding can be stopped, and fatigue injuries can be healed." In Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, people often cook agrimony with red dates to regulate qi and blood and treat fatigue injuries. , so agrimony is also known as "Tuoli grass". "
Regarding the hemostatic function of agrimony, there is still a story circulating among the people: In ancient times, two scholars went to Beijing to take the exam. They were afraid of missing the exam date and had to bear the burden. They were driving under the scorching sun, and they were hot and tired. One of them suddenly had a nosebleed due to overexertion, and they had to stop. There was no medical treatment or medicine in the mountains and they had to watch the blood flow out of their nostrils. The exam period was about to come, and now they had nosebleeds. What should they do? When they were anxious, they saw a white crane flying over them with grass in its mouth. The scholar who had a nosebleed and his mouth was dry picked up the fallen weed and chewed it. After a while, the nosebleed stopped. After stopping for a while, they continued on their way, finally not delaying the exam, and passed the exam. In order to thank Bai He for sending the medicine, they named the grass "Agrimony"
The whole plant of agrimony contains agrimonin, agrimony lactone, luteolin, glucoside, vitamin C, vitamin K, tannins, volatile oil, etc. Pharmacological research on the hemostatic effect of agrimony. This is due to the content of agrimony, tannins and a small amount of vitamin K. Animal experiments show that agrimony can regulate heart rate, increase cell resistance, and lower blood sugar.
