It is said that toad skin is cool and pungent, which has a strong effect of pulling out poison and attacking it. According to modern medical research, toad skin has anti-inflammatory effect, which is similar to hormone. However, toad is poisonous, so herpes zoster around the eyes can't be externally applied. If toad venom is accidentally put into eyes, washing it with Lithospermum juice can reduce swelling.
