Han Lian Cao (Mo) 旱莲草(墨) refers to the powdered form of Han Lian Cao, prepared from the whole plant of Eclipta prostrata. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is classed among the “herbs that cool the blood and stop bleeding” and “herbs that nourish Yin and preserve essence.” Its nature is cool, and its flavour is bitter and slightly sweet. Its major functions include cooling the blood, stopping bleeding (especially in contexts of heat or deficiency), nourishing the Liver and Kidney Yin, and preserving essence.

Clinically, Han Lian Cao (Mo) is used in conditions such as bleeding due to Yin deficiency or heat (e.g. uterine bleeding, epistaxis, hematuria), or in patterns with Liver/Kidney Yin deficiency manifesting as dizziness, tinnitus, premature greying of hair, or depletion of essence.
