Dried receptacle of the lotus flower (Nelumbo nucifera, Nelumbonaceae) — the seed-bearing structure of the same plant yielding Lian Zi and He Ye. Enters the Liver channel. Bitter, astringent, and warm; transforms stasis and stanches bleeding, used for postpartum stasis-type lochia retention, flooding and spotting, and blood stasis with hemorrhage.
Reference range for non-pregnant adults. Not a personalized prescription. Pregnancy, lactation, and pediatric use require specialist supervision.
Protective guidance only — when to avoid or use with caution. This block deliberately omits pregnancy, lactation, and pediatric dosing: any such use must be managed by a qualified TCM practitioner or appropriate specialist.
