Strychnine is highly toxic and remains so after cooking, but there is no authoritative evidence as to whether there is any increase or decrease in toxicity. Strychnine is generally used in pills and powder after concocting. Raw strychnine is used externally in appropriate amounts.
Strychnine has the efficacy of clearing collaterals and relieving pain, dispersing knots and swelling, and can be used clinically to treat bruises, fracture pain, blood stasis, numbness and paralysis, sore throat, carbuncle and gangrene (a kind of poisonous sores, which occur on the surface of the body, limbs, internal organs of the acute suppurative disease) sores and sores, and so on.
Strychnine is contraindicated in pregnant women. Athletes should be cautious. Strychnine should not be taken for a long time or used raw. The toxic ingredients of strychnine can be absorbed through the skin, so it is not suitable to be applied on a large area for external use.
If you need to use strychnine, it must be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.
