Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese herbal practice, Ya Dan Zi has long been used externally, most famously in folk remedies where the crushed fruit or oil was applied topically for warts and corns. It also appears in classical texts as a bitter cold herb associated with clearing heat and resolving toxicity. Because the fruit is strongly irritating, traditional use emphasizes careful external application and avoidance of broken skin.
