Besides stopping bleeding, what is another important action of Pu Huang (typhae pollen)?

Kills parasites such as roundworm and tapeworm
Drains Liver fire; for headache, red eyes, and irritability
Promotes urination to treat lin syndrome
Induces astringency to stop diarrhea

Pu Huang is cattail pollen. Cats like to scratch on things and cause bleeding (stops bleeding). Cats like to zoom around (invigorates blood). And cats like to pee on things (promotes urination). Pu Huang is especially useful for painful dribbling urination with blood in the urine.
