Sweet, cold, non-toxic. Dispels blood and relieves pain.
For bleeding due to intestinal wind: Char the eggplant exposed to frost into powder, take 2 qian with wine per dose. (Verified Formula 1.)
For chronic lower gastrointestinal bleeding: Take three old eggplants, wrap in wet paper, bake until cooked, pour wine over them, seal tightly for three days, then drink the liquid. (Formula 2.)
For bruising and swelling from trauma: Slice the eggplant, bake until dry, grind into powder, take 2 qian with wine per dose; highly effective. (Formula 3.)
For heat-toxin carbuncles and swellings: Take one eggplant, cut off the top two fen, remove the pulp inside by two fen to form a jar-like shape, place it directly over the sore to resolve the swelling. If pus has already formed, use this method again to achieve cure. (Formula 4.)
For toothache caused by worms: Char the eggplant into powder and apply externally. (Formula 5.)
For all types of toothache: Dry eggplant flowers, char into powder, and apply to the affected area; pain stops immediately. (Formula 6.)
