Rating (out of 5): 2

"Huang Hua" can refer to several different herbs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), but it is commonly associated with the plant Chrysanthemum indicum (Wild Chrysanthemum Flower). In TCM, Huang Hua is not a primary herb for treating external bleeding, but there is some traditional usage for its anti-inflammatory and hemostatic (bleeding-stopping) properties in folk medicine. The flower is thought to "clear heat" and "cool the blood," which are concepts in TCM sometimes linked to treating bleeding disorders, especially when bleeding is associated with "heat" in the blood.

However, the evidence supporting its use for external bleeding is primarily anecdotal and based on traditional practices rather than robust clinical or pharmacological studies. While some in vitro studies suggest that components of Chrysanthemum species have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, there is limited direct evidence that Huang Hua is effective or commonly used for stopping external bleeding in either clinical trials or pharmacological research. Thus, its use in this context relies mainly on traditional knowledge rather than scientific validation.

In summary, Huang Hua's application for external bleeding is justified by tradition, with only modest supporting evidence and no substantial scientific validation to date.
