Can Yunnan Baiyao treat stomach diseases?

Yunnan Baiyao cannot directly treat stomach diseases. Although Yunnan Baiyao promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, reduces swelling, and alleviates pain, thereby improving microcirculation, promoting blood flow, and offering certain benefits in managing gastric mucosal congestion and stopping bleeding, it lacks antibacterial properties and cannot inhibit gastric acid secretion. Therefore, its effectiveness in treating stomach diseases is limited. Yunnan Baiyao is primarily used to treat traumatic injuries, blood stasis with swelling and pain, hemoptysis, hematemesis, and other hemorrhagic conditions, as it has significant hemostatic effects, shortens coagulation time, and increases prothrombin levels. For the treatment of stomach diseases, targeted therapeutic measures should be adopted based on specific causes and symptoms, and medications should be used under a doctor's guidance.
