Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Pagoda Tree (Styphnolobium japonicum, formerly Sophora japonica) has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating various bleeding disorders, including external bleeding such as wounds and hemorrhoidal bleeding. The flower buds, known as Huai Hua, are commonly used in formulations to "cool the blood" and stop bleeding. Historical TCM texts describe its effectiveness in clearing heat and treating conditions where bleeding is associated with heat in the blood, such as hematuria, hematochezia, or bleeding hemorrhoids.

The traditional rationale for its use centers around its flavonoid content, especially rutin and quercetin, which are believed to strengthen blood vessels and reduce capillary fragility. While there are some modern pharmacological studies suggesting that extracts from the Pagoda Tree may have hemostatic (bleeding-stopping), anti-inflammatory, and vasoprotective properties, robust clinical evidence in humans is limited. Most scientific studies to date have been in vitro or animal studies, not large-scale clinical trials. Thus, the primary justification for its use in treating external bleeding stems from its pervasive role in TCM rather than from strong contemporary scientific validation.

In summary, Pagoda Tree is traditionally used to treat bleeding (external), and some moderate experimental evidence exists to support possible efficacy, but this has not been conclusively validated in rigorous clinical studies.
