It is said that toad skin is cool and pungent, and it has a strong effect of pulling out poison and attacking poison. Modern medical research shows that toad skin has anti-inflammatory effect, similar to hormones. But toad is poisonous, so herpes zoster around eyes can't be applied externally. If Venenum Bufonis accidentally gets into eyes, washing it with Lithospermum juice can reduce swelling.
