FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT YUNNAN BAIYAO
What is Yunnan Baiyao?
Yunnan Baiyao is a prized Chinese Herbal Medicine used primarily to stop bleeding (both internally & externally). It can be used externally on open cuts, wounds and tumors; or, Yunnan Baiyao can be used internally for severe bruising, bleeding ulcers, blood or urine in stools, nosebleeds, tumors and post surgery. Yunnan Baiyao is also used to reduce inflammation, provide pain relief, to tonify the blood (i.e. snake bites) and promote healing.
Yunnan Baiyao is commonly used to extend the life of dogs (and cats) with bleeding cancers such as hemangiosarcoma or nasal cancer (nosebleeds). Some treatments for cancer, such as Chemotherapy, tend to promote bleeding; it makes sense that giving a supplement to promote blood clotting would be a benefit. It is believed that Yunnan Baiyao works by activating the platelets, which are the small blood components that help make the blood clot. Blood clots are the first step in a scab. They are like little plugs or corkes in the way they stop hemorrhage.
Yunnan Baiyao can be used for the following cancers and conditions:
- anal gland cancer
- bladder cancer
- bone cancer
- eye cancer
- hemangiosarcoma
- liver (hepatic) cancer
- lung (pulmonary) cancer
- lymphoma

Dosage Instructions for Yunnan Baiyao:
Every dog and every case is unique. Ultimately, you want to find the lowest dosage needed to control bleeding; for some dogs this will be 1 capsule every other day, for others it may be 4 capsules 4x a day.
Please consult with a veterinarian; but, these are general guidelines:
- For dogs under 10 lbs, give 1 capsule by mouth one time a day.
- For dogs from 10 to 30 lbs, give 1 capsule by mouth two times a day.
- For dogs above 30 but less than 60 lbs, give 2 capsules two times a day.
- For dogs above 60 lbs, give 2 capsules three times a day.
**Do not give Yunnan Baiyao on an ongoing basis. It is best to give it on alternating days, or for a 5-day on, 5-day off cycle that repeats. There is some possible evidence that this medicine may elevate liver markers if given daily for prolonged periods of time.
Side Effects of Yunnan Baiyao:
If the dosage is too high, your dog may experience symptoms similar to dehydration: diarrhea, frequent urination, increased thirst, dry or cracked nose and paws. In very rare instances, there may be an allergic reaction; in which case, please discontinue use.

Yunnan Baiyao has worked wonders for my girl. She is now about 3 months past the median survival time for hemangiosarcoma. Yunnanbaiyaofordogs has been a great place to get the product and has great customer support. I would highly recommend them.

Can’t say enough about herbal medicine, our shepherd is eating better and more energy, though on hospice.

Vet sent us home with some then we ordered more.
Certainly gave us time to adjust…we had a dog on hospice so we spoiled him rotten. So thankful to have these amazing herbs to give him a bit of energy at the end of his rope.

My 15 year old dog has a nasal tumor that was causing severe nose bleeds, the worst lasting 2 hours! She had a tumor removed from her side at 14 and we just hoped for another year. Clearly the cancer has spread to the sinus cavity, and if it weren’t for Yunnan Baiyao we would have had to say good bye already! She has had not one nose bleed since being on this ! I was even more amazed when I brought her to her vet and they are well aware of this product and use it frequently! Thank you for extending my girls life!

10 year old Golden Retriever recently diagnosed with cancer tumor. This product seems to be slowing the bleed based on recent ultrasound after 1 month of taking this supplement.

Your medicine 💊 has helped and did exactly what it was intended to do for my dog. So he could live a much longer life with spleen mass cell cancer. I would recommend this medication to anyone that is in this type of situation. This medication works very effectively.

We’re still in the early stages of dealing with hemangiosarcoma but so far things seem to be working. I’m about to order the next shipment. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for offering YB, which can be difficult to locate. Our dog seems to be benefiting from it. The only issue I’ve had is wondering about if there are any possible metals or other contaminants in this YB, that have sometimes been known to be in Chinese herbs from China. In addition, the option of overnight delivery wd be so appreciated by those of us worried about starting YB as soon as possible, concerned about the seriousness of our dogs and internal bleeding. Again, thanks.
