According to the herbs in southern Yunnan, eggplant can promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and moisten intestines. Therefore, it is also helpful for people with constipation, hemorrhoid bleeding and damp-heat jaundice to eat more eggplant. You can choose purple eggplant and rice to cook porridge together. "Compendium of Materia Medica" introduces that eggplant with pedicle is baked and ground into fine powder, and blood under intestinal wind is treated with wine; Herbal medicine in southern Yunnan advocates that rice soup is appropriate, because blood due to intestinal wind and hemorrhoid bleeding are not suitable for wine. Bake the pedicled eggplant and grind it into fine powder, which is often used for external use.

How to eat eggplant is the healthiest?
Eggplant salad is the healthiest.
Eggplant is a rare purple vegetable with unique nutritional value. It contains a variety of vitamins and mineral elements such as calcium, phosphorus and iron. In particular, eggplant skin contains more vitamin P, and the main components are rutin, catechin and hesperidin. Eating eggplant (even skin) often has a certain effect on preventing and treating hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis and senile plaque.
There are many ways to eat eggplant, but most of them are cooked at high temperature and for a long time, which is not only greasy, but also loses a lot of nutrition. The vitamin loss of fried eggplant can reach more than 50%.
Of all the ways to eat eggplant, mashed potatoes are the healthiest. First of all, tomato sauce has the shortest heating time, and only needs to be steamed on high fire, with the least nutritional loss.
Secondly, mashing tomatoes uses the least oil. After the steamed eggplant is mashed, just pour some sauce on it.
Finally, the eating method of mixed tomato sauce is the most complete in nutrient absorption, because it does not need to peel off eggplant skin, which contains a lot of bioactive substances.
It is best to use olive oil, sesame paste, garlic paste and a little salt as the seasoning of tomato sauce. Olive oil is undoubtedly a healthy oil, sesame paste is rich in calcium, protein and vitamins, and garlic paste has the efficacy of sterilization and cancer prevention.
