Bazinjan - eggplant

Choice.
Old eggplants are harmful. Their taste and nature are the same as that of hodgepodge. But fresh eggplants are safer.

Nature.
According to Ibn Masarjawayh, their nature is cold, but it is correct that the predominant force in them is warmth and dryness in the second degree, since they are bitter and caustic.

Actions and properties.
Eggplant produces black bile and causes blockages.

Cosmetics.
Eggplant spoils the complexion, darkens the skin and makes the face yellow. Small eggplants consist of almost only peel and contribute to the appearance of freckles.

Tumors and acne.
Eggplants give rise to cancerous tumors, hardenings and leprosy.

Organs of the head.
Eggplant causes headaches and dizziness and causes pimples in the mouth.

Nutritional organs.
Eggplants cause blockages in the liver and spleen, with the exception of eggplants boiled in vinegar; these latter sometimes open blockages in the liver.

Eruption organs.
Eggplant causes kidney rash, but its petioles, dried in the shade and ground into powder, are useful against kidney rash.

Eggplants in themselves have nothing to do with weakening or strengthening the nature, but if they are boiled in oil, they weaken, and if they are cooked in vinegar, they strengthen.
