Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese medicine, Ya Dan Zi has long been used in small, carefully controlled doses, most often prepared in pill or capsule form rather than decoctions due to its irritating nature. It is traditionally applied externally for certain skin and wart concerns in folk practice. Because of its potency, it is traditionally handled by experienced practitioners and not used as a daily tea or food ingredient.
