It has a stronger effect than that of Millettia odorata. In 1989, Zhang Shufang et al. reported that Millettia reticulata decoction (2 g/kg) had no significant effect on the recovery of peripheral cells, hemoglobin and reticulocytes in rabbits with hemorrhagic anemia: the experiment used 7 litters of rabbits, 5 of which had 4 rabbits each, and the remaining 2 litters had 2 rabbits each, for a total of 24 rabbits. There are 13 females and 11 males, weighing 1.42-2.58kg.

Four rabbits from the same litter were randomly divided into three groups: Danshen, Angelica, Millettia reticulata, and a control group, with 5 rabbits in each group. The normal values ​​were only observed for the other 4 mice. During the experiment, blood was collected from the ear vein at 8:30 am every day (after the first feeding) to measure hemoglobin, red blood cell count, and reticulocyte count. After the values ​​of the three indicators became constant, they were measured continuously for 3 days and used as the normal values ​​for the rabbit.

Starting from the 4th day, blood was let out from the V-shaped incision at the tip of the rabbit's ear at 8:30 am every day. Once a day for 3 consecutive days, each bloodletting is equivalent to 1% of the body weight on that day, and the total bloodletting volume is equivalent to 50% of the total blood volume. After bloodletting, 5% glucose solution was gavaged to replenish lost body fluids, with the dosage being 1% of body weight.

Starting from one day after the bloodletting, each group was gavaged with 20% decoction of Salvia miltiorrhiza, Angelica sinensis, and Millettia reticulata at a dose of 2 g per 1 kg body weight. The other group was given 10 ml of normal saline per 1 kg body weight as a control, once a day for 10 consecutive days. Blood was drawn from the ear vein at 8:30 am every day from 1 to 13 days and on days 16, 18, and 21 after the bloodletting to check the blood count.
