Chinese Herbs
If your dog has hemangiosarcoma, leukemia, or any type of bleeding tumor such as nasal cancer, you’ll want to know about Yunnan Baiyao (aka Yunnan Paiyao), a Chinese herb that stops bleeding. Yunnan Baiyao has been used in Asia for more than one hundred years and is considered a miracle drug for wounds and hemorrhage. It first gained recognition by western practitioners during the Vietnam War. The Vietcong carried it with them and took it if they were wounded to stop bleeding and recover more quickly. It is now recognized as an effective remedy for reducing clotting time by as much as 55%. Hemangiosarcoma is a very deadly cancer in dogs, which generally isn't diagnosed until the dog collapses or dies. This sort of cancer is genetic, hereditary, and it runs in bloodlines. It causes a tumor in the heart (also seen in the spleen, and other organs) that leads to fluid build-up in the pericardium. Yunnan Baiyao has been used successfully to relieve the fluid build up and help with the dog's comfort level.
Yunnan Baiyao also known as Yunnan Paiyao has been extensively used and considered a sort of miracle drug for wounds, pain, and hemorrhage. Unlike Western pain drugs, it does not turn off pain centers in the brain, but instead facilitates circulation, bringing oxygen to the injury.
It is useful for any type of open cuts and any kind of surgery. It reduces recovery time for surgery by half because it mends injured blood vessels. It does not interfere with Western sedative drugs, so can be used the same day as surgery.
By immediately activating blood circulation, it helps resolve bleeding, pain, and swelling. It heals oozing wounds and damaged blood vessels, while expelling pus and counteracting toxins.
Although the ingredients are still secret, the two main herbs are raw and steamed tienchi ginseng. The raw form is cooling, the steamed form is warming. It is the combination of the two forms, along with other herbs, that make Yunnan Baiyao a balanced and powerful "drug" for pain and injury.
Its primary application is acute traumatic bleeding, where the powder is applied directly to the cut. The product is antibacterial as well as homeostatic.
Cuts heal quickly with even a single application, and with a butterfly bandage it can help seal smaller wounds that might otherwise require stitches. In various clinical studies, it has shown to reduce clotting time by 33% to 55%.
The powder form is more appropriate for topical application in traumatic bleeding, while the capsules are meant to be taken internally.
Otherwise you buy capsules and it is used orally in the food.
It is used for traumatic swelling or bruising, or for other blood disorders including thrombocytopenic purpura and leukemia. It is also used to inhibit internal bleeding due to trauma, surgery or cerebral hemorrhage.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has a paradoxical effect in that it reduces bleeding, but also disperses “Congealed Blood.” The congealed blood, which may include bruising, swelling, some menstrual problems, some kinds of arthritic pain, and some pains associated with internal medicine, is a condition where clotting, stagnation, and poor circulation, are responsible for pain. Because Pseudoginseng both reduces bleeding, including internal bleeding, and breaks up Congealed Blood, it is very widely used in Chinese medicine. This combo will help reduce infections from the bleeding.
Pseudoginseng has attracted the attention of Western researchers as a source of potential constituents helpful in heart attacks. The medicine is available from Chinese pharmacies or other suppliers under the name Yunnan Paiyao. This patent lists only Panax notoginseng as an ingredient, but also contains unspecified other proprietary substances. It may be taken internally, or sprinkled directly into a bleeding wound, followed by pressure on the wound. [Note: do not take the red pill on center top except in case of severe shock-inducing injury or bleeding I read.].

DOSAGE: I gave Lucy, a 90 pound Lab, 1 capsule 2x per day just thrown in her food every day. Her bleeding stopped, her infections and swelling therefore stopped, and the scary and messy scenes stopped. During a bleed I would double or triple this dose for a few days. This bleeding had been going on for months out of her nose. Within a week of use it was less each time and after maybe a couple of months, the bleeding was hardly ever. At this point many months after diagnosis of canine nasal adenocarcinoma cancer, she has not bled AT ALL for many months now. After she had not bled for 5 weeks straight I discontinued every day use. In fact, I have not used it at all since remission that occurred after about 4 months doing the stuff in this blog. This is not a blood thickener, it just helps the body clot faster when told to clot. The bleeding itself comes from the arteries feeding the tumor breaking due to the tumor increasing in size.
Oddly this stuff can be ordered easily and cheaply from I usually get Yunnan PaiYao from Active Herb but it's even cheaper direct from Hong Kong Yun Nan Bai Yao Yunnan Bai Yao - Chinese Herbs for Bleeding Type Cancers such as Dog Nasal Cancer
These bottles are much cheaper than the capsules, 1/6 teaspoon=.25g capsule works for my pet's cancerous tumer to slow/stop its internal bleeding. Or you can just get capsules, they carry both below.

Many Holistic Vets tell you to use this for bleeding (or want to sell it to you for a high price....). Assuming you can even find a Holistic Vet near you. Or try looking for a herbalist in a Chinatown if you live near a large city.
Emotionally anyway, not seeing your dog bleed makes this whole 'my dog has nasal cancer' much less stressful.

"The Hope Center has found Yunnan Baiyao to be beneficial in both our oncology and emergency patients for many reasons. Patients with excessive bleeding caused by trauma, hemorrhagic pericardial effusion, bleeding skin tumors, and hemorrhagic abdominal effusion may benefit from this Chinese herbal supplement. Patients with single or multiple internal masses are prone to bleeding or can sometimes rupture causing a large amount of blood to build up in the abdomen. The patients we expect to benefit the most from this product include: hemangiosarcoma, heart based tumors, liver tumors, mast cell tumors, any bleeding nasal tumor, and some types of melanomas. Unfortunately most tumors have the potential to bleed either due to their type and/or location. We have been using both the oral and topical form of the Yunnan Baiyao.
The red pills in center of packet are used for acute bleeding or discovery of acute bleeding. We have recently started using the red pill on the day of surgery, such as stable splenectomies. If the red pill is used in acute emergencies, we will start the regular capsules 2-6 hours later. We dose our pets as follows: Cats and dogs <10 lbs 1EOD, dogs 11-20 lbs 1 every 24 hours, 21-89 lbs 1 every 12 hours, >90 lbs 2 every 12 hours.
With some cases as they progress in their disease, the tumors grow larger, or the bleeding/oozing is more frequent we may have the owners increase the frequency to every 6-8 hours. "

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING STUFF!!!, December 14, 2007

(REAL NAME) This review is from: Yunnan Baiyao Capsule Herbal Supplement (16 Capsules 0.25g Each) Total 4g (Same Day Shipping) (Health and Beauty)
I was first given this stuff for my dog from my Holistic Vet. She has liver disease and her tumor ruptured and she was bleeding internally. I thought she was a goner, she was extremely sick and dying. She was immediately better and with each day became stronger & stronger. It stops internal & external bleeding. She is almost 16 and still with me today. I attribute it to this fantastic formula. Apparently formulated in 1902 and in China it is highly regarded, it is like their penicillin. I read it was used in the Vietnam war and saved many lives. Great product to keep on hand for emergencies!

I found Yunnan Baiyao to be excellent for the care of a dog with adeno carcinoma. I used Yunnan on the advice of a veterinarian, to control nasal bleeding, which it did very well, and I also think that use of the product prolonged the dog's life in that the cancer seemed to progress more slowly than anticipated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yunnan Paiyao for wounds and surgery, October 11, 2011
By Letha Hadady "Letha" (The Big Apple) - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Yunnan Baiyao Capsule Herbal Supplement (16 Capsules 0.25g Each) Total 4g (Same Day Shipping) (Health and Beauty)
I am surprised to see so many reviews for Yunnan Paiyao written by people who have used this wonderful medicine for their dogs. Yunnan Paiyao (AKA Yunnan Paiyao, Yunnan white powder) was created for human wounds, injuries, excess bleeding, excessive menstrual flow, surgery, insect bites. The Chinese People's Army and others use it for gunshot wounds, deep incisions, and bruises, swelling and pain resulting from physical trauma and surgery. I advise surgery and dental patients to swallow the small red ball just before a procedure. The hemostatic, astringent herbs will not interfere with sedative drugs used in surgery. Yunnan Paiyao can be taken for up to several weeks after surgery and wounds to speed healing. The results are amazing. It contains several forms of tienchi ginseng (hemostatic, heart tonic, anticholesterol) an herbal popularly called "dragon's blood" used for reducing bruises, myrrh and a few other astringent herbs.

Like other reviewers, we have a dog with nasal cancer (adenocarcinoma) who had nose bleeds. We gave him Yunnan Balyao on a holistic vet's recommendation and have seen the bleeding reduced first to a trickle, then to only occasional (once or twice a day) spotting. We were constantly wiping drips from his nose before we used this product. We highly recommend it.

I have not yet had the need to use the product but have it on hand because I own golden retrievers who are very prone to hemangiosarcoma. After hearing about and seeing it's miraculous powers I wanted to make sure I have it in case one of my dogs ever needs it. I've seen dogs on death's door recover and live many more months with good quality of life because of this product. Every golden retriever owner should have this product.

This review is from: Yunnan Baiyao Capsule Herbal Supplement (16 Capsules 0.25g Each) Total 4g (Same Day Shipping) (Health and Beauty)
I am using yunnan baiyao in conjunction with piroxicam to treat my dog's bladder cancer. We started him on the supplement about a month ago (after determining chemotherapy was not working) and I am very impressed with how well my dog is doing. I initially did not expect an herbal supplement to help much, but a few days after starting him on the pills there was little to no blood in his urine and he was straining less to pee. Will it cure him? No. But it seems to have increased his quality of life which makes me super happy.

My dog has nose cancer and "drips" quite a bit of blood. This product has really lessened that amount. It's not as red or as much. The oncology clinic where I took my dog for radiation told me a few patients have used it. I highly recommend it.

I had a bad laceration on the bottom of my foot, I broke open one of the capsules and rubbed the powder over my cleaned wound before bed. I went to bed that night around 6 pm and got up around 7 am the next day and the wound was nearly completely healed over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stops both internal and external bleeding, January 2, 2012

(REAL NAME) This review is from: Yunnan Baiyao Capsule Herbal Supplement (16 Capsules 0.25g Each) Total 4g (Same Day Shipping) (Health and Beauty)
This is not just a product for dogs! U.S. soldiers in Vietnam carried Yunnan Baiyao with them to treat bullet wounds. It is a great item to keep in your first aid kit. (I am a licensed acupuncturist and am presently getting certified in Chinese herbalism as well.) It is best to consult with someone who knows how to use this in emergencies, so I'm glad to see people are consulting with their alternative medicine veterinarians. People can use this, too, so go to a licensed herbalist who practices Chinese medicine if you want to use this for a human being. Great stuff, with proven efficacy.

By Weimaraner - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Yunnan Baiyao Capsule Herbal Supplement (16 Capsules 0.25g Each) Total 4g (Same Day Shipping) (Health and Beauty)
My 15 year old Weimaraner developed spleen and bladder cancer last November, 11 months ago. Spleen tumor bleeding stopped by using Yunnan Baiyao. Also gave Lactoferrin (safe source of iron for dogs with cancer, regular iron will feed cancer, lactoferrin plugs iron receptacles of tumor), Gippofain from Russia (from bark of sea buckthorn tree) to attack cancer, and cordyceps (to cripple cancer cell growth/splitting). Spleen cancer almost gone (from 80+% invasion to barely detectable) and bladder cancer essentially gone. Yunnan baiyao shared with vets for surgery with excellent results to stop bleeding. Shared with bird owners and used to stop bleeding. Great product!!!
