What are the benefits of eggplant? What diseases can be prevented by eating eggplant?

We all know that eggplant is a very good vegetable, so what effect does it have if we eat eggplant for a long time? Today I will tell you about it:

The effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain

⑵Used for heat toxic carbuncle, skin ulcer, oral sore

Hemorrhoids causing bleeding, bloody stool, epistaxis, etc.

According to Chinese medicine, eggplant is a cold food. Therefore, eating it in summer can help clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and it is especially suitable for people who are prone to prickly heat and boils. People with indigestion and diarrhea should not eat too much, as Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Eggplant is cold and beneficial, and eating too much will cause abdominal pain and diarrhea." "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica" records that eggplant can disperse blood, reduce swelling, and widen the intestine. Therefore, eating more eggplant can also help people with constipation, hemorrhoid bleeding, and damp-heat jaundice. You can choose purple eggplant and rice to cook porridge. "Compendium of Materia Medica" introduces that the eggplant with stalks should be dried, ground into fine powder, and taken with wine to treat intestinal wind and bleeding; "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica" advocates taking it with rice soup, which is more appropriate, because intestinal wind and bleeding and hemorrhoid bleeding are not suitable for wine. Dry the eggplant with stalks and grind it into fine powder, which is more often used for external use.

⑶Treatment of frostbite

Take two or three eggplant vines (with roots) from the field in winter and boil them in water. After the water boils, cook it for another 20 minutes. Use this water to soak and wash the frostbite areas. At the same time, use the eggplant vines to scrub the affected areas. Two to three times will cure the disease.
