No effective hemostatic agents are available for external use. This project was conducted to evaluate the hemostatic effects of notoginseng using a hemorrhagic rat model. Rats (n = 40) were divided into four groups, and their tails were transected 5 mm from the tip. Group 1 received no treatment (control), while the other groups received external powder applied to the wound. Group 2 received placebo (flour), group 3 received ground notoginseng, and group 4 received a saponin extract of notoginseng. The total bleeding time was determined and compared between groups. The notoginseng group had lower bleeding times (9.60 +/- 1.50 min) than the control group (19.23 +/- 4.09 min, p < 0.001) or the placebo group (15.18 +/- 2.24 min, p < 0.001). Likewise, the saponin extract group had significantly lower bleeding times (11.70 +/- 2.53 min) than the control and placebo groups (p < 0.001 for both comparisons). No differences were found between the notoginseng and the saponin extract groups (p = 0.35). Notoginseng and a saponin extract from notoginseng provide hemostatic effects when applied externally.
