Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese medicine, Ya Dan Zi is traditionally associated with clearing heat, resolving toxicity, and attacking parasites, and has historically been applied externally for certain skin growths in folk practice. Because the fruit is strongly irritating, traditional texts emphasize external use or careful processing rather than simple internal consumption. It is traditionally handled by experienced practitioners and dispensed in small, controlled amounts.
