Li Shizhen specifically listed five prescriptions: three used Willow Catkin, and two used poplar catkins.
For instance, the remedy for "golden wound blood flow" was to "seal it with Willow Catkin, and the bleeding will stop."
This shows that Willow Catkin was indeed considered a hemostatic agent in traditional Chinese medicine.
In fact, to deal with the nuisance of Willow Catkin, people had tried to turn this waste into treasure before, such as by weaving it into cloth or making lightweight materials.
However, the fibers of poplar catkin are extremely short, and their strength is very poor, making it difficult to spin into yarn, let alone weave into cloth.
This is the main reason why Willow Catkin has always been so difficult to use effectively, despite its abundance.
However, the new technique from the system's intel could solve this problem.
Of course, cloth woven using this new process still wouldn't be as strong as traditional textiles like cotton or linen.
