Eating eggplant root can treat rheumatism-heat paralysis (often manifested as burning, pain, redness and swelling of joints and muscles), foot fungus and other conditions. However, it is important to note that the effect of a single Chinese medicine is weak, and other medicines can be used together under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Eggplant root is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, sweet in taste, cold in nature, with the effect of clearing wind and heat, relieving cough, diuresis, stopping bleeding, etc. It can be used to treat dysentery, blood in stool, hemorrhoidal blood, hemorrhagic drenching (the appearance of blood in the urine accompanied by a painful sensation) and other diseases. When applying eggplant root to treat diseases, it should not be applied to those who are not suffering from diseases caused by dampness-heat syndrome; it should not be applied to patients with deficiency cold in the spleen and stomach. If the patient has the need to use eggplant root, it must be used by a professional physician after clear identification of the disease, and should not be used blindly on its own, as this may lead to adverse consequences.
