These days everyone rather likes succulents, and today we are going to introduce one plant of this kind, whose name is Bryophyllum pinnatum. Perhaps everyone does not know it very well, and perhaps is unaware that it has many down-to-earth names, but its benefits are truly far more than ordinary. Today let us introduce it.

1. Joints

The whole plant can be used as medicine and can treat all kinds of diseases, and joint pain is one of them. In the Dai people's records this plant is mentioned, and it clearly points out that one of its effects is treating joint pain. The formula we generally use is to make a herbal medicine from the whole plant, with a dosage of one liang, and the specific method is to decoct it in water.

2. Trauma

This plant also has an effect on trauma. According to the traditional method, we only need to crush it and then place this medicine on the place where we are bleeding.

3. Otitis media

Otitis media is indeed a very painful disease; once you have it, your ear is often in pain, so we can crush this plant and then drip it into our ear.

4. Throat wind

It also has quite an effect in treating throat wind with swelling and pain. We use its leaves, five to ten of them, and the measure to take is to grind them into juice, then put it in the mouth and rinse a few times.

5. Breasts

For women, breast disease is truly painful, and if there is mastitis, it can also be used to treat it. At this time what we need is its fresh leaves, in an amount of one to two liang. The specific method is the same as above: crush it and then place it on the affected area.

6. Traumatic injuries

Treating this likewise requires its leaves. We crush them and then mix them with wine or granulated sugar, then stew them in water, and drink it.

7. Stomach pain

If you have stomach pain, you can also use its fresh leaves, five of them; just crush them to extract the juice, then add some salt, and it is best to eat it.

8. Ulcers

It can treat ulcers. We crush it and then dry it in the sun, and only need to use its powdered form, then together with plum slice apply it to the place where we have sores.

9. Boils

This likewise uses its leaves, also requiring fresh ones, in an amount of about one to two liang. After crushing them, drink them together with honey, and then apply the remaining residue to the affected area.
