    Traditional Edict

    Peanut / Groundnut / Peanut Skin (Kacang Tanah / Hua Sheng / Hua Sheng Yi / Chang Sheng Guo). Subterranean geocarpic pods. Undisputed Emperor for Elevating Blood Platelets (Raja Tambah Platlet Darah): boiling the red seed coats (Hua Sheng Yi) surges platelets in Dengue & ITP purpura, stanches bleeding.

    Cautions & Contraindications

    • Astringent red skins (Hua Sheng Yi) are primary for bleeding/platelets; peel skins off if patient has hypercoagulability/thrombosis. CONTRAINDICATED in severe IgE peanut anaphylaxis allergies.

    Clinical Applications

    • Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Dengue fever thrombocytopenia, chemotherapy-induced myelosuppressive bleeding (stimulating megakaryocyte thrombopoiesis via Hua Sheng Yi Proanthocyanidins), and iron-deficiency anemia.

    Quality Markers

    Proanthocyanidins >= 12.0%-18.0% in red coat (Hua Sheng Yi), Resveratrol >= 0.05%-0.15%, Luteolin & Oleic/Linoleic Oils >= 45.0%

    Mechanism & Phytochemistry

    1. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins in peanut skin stimulate bone marrow megakaryocytopoiesis, accelerating platelet shedding into circulation. 2. Resveratrol and luteolin inhibit platelet lysis.

    Preparation & Dosage

    THE SOVEREIGN HUA SHENG YI THROMBOCYTOPENIA & DENGUE DECOCTION: 15 to 30 g pure red peanut skins (Hua Sheng Yi) boiled with 10 red dates (Hong Zao) in 500 mL water for 20 min; drink warm twice daily. Platelet counts surge within 48 to 72 hours. Nuts for Spleen: 30-50 g.
