Traditional Uses

In TCM practice Ya Dan Zi is traditionally classified as a bitter cold herb associated with the large intestine and liver channels. It has historically appeared in classical formulas for dysentery and malaria, and folk practice has long used the crushed kernel or oil externally for warts and corns. Because of its toxicity, traditional texts emphasize careful processing and professional supervision rather than casual home use.
