Bayberry fruit, core, root, and skin can all be used as medicine. They are mild and non-toxic.

The fruit core can cure athlete's foot, the root can stop bleeding and regulate qi; the bark soaked in wine can cure bruises, redness, swelling and pain, etc. Eating bayberries soaked in white wine in midsummer will make you feel refreshed and relieve heat and greasiness. When you have diarrhea, you can drink a thick soup made from bayberry to stop the diarrhea, as it has an astringent effect. Bayberry has many medical functions such as helping food, removing dampness, relieving heat, promoting fluid production and relieving cough, aiding digestion, keeping out the cold, stopping diarrhea, diuresis, and preventing and treating cholera. It is known as the "agate among fruits".
