Shan Bajiao (Mountain Banana), with a plant height of approximately one chi, has a pungent and bitter taste. It is toxic. It should not be taken internally at will; it is only suitable for external application to treat sores and dissipate toxicity, promoting the shedding of necrotic tissue and generating new flesh. For abscesses that have not yet ruptured, apply around the periphery while leaving the center open to facilitate the emergence of the pus head. If pus and blood have already flowed out, grind this herb into powder and apply it around the unbroken skin to help expel internal sore toxins and pus tubes. Its root is the most effective part.
