Method for treating night sweats with mulberry leaves: Dry mulberry leaves thoroughly, grind into powder, and mix with rice water on an empty stomach. Take twice daily for 7-8 consecutive days for effective results.Defensive Qi relies on the liver's opening and closing functions, while nutritive Qi depends on the liver's dispersing action. Imbalance between these two Qi types directly causes sweating disorders. Mulberry leaves enter both the lung and liver meridians, possessing dispersing properties. Thus, they effectively stop sweating without trapping pathogens—an advantage over other herbs.
For external use in treating eye conditions: Wash 15-20 grams of frost-exposed mulberry leaves, decoct in water, strain, and cool. Soak a dry towel in the solution and apply to the affected eye. This method yields satisfactory results for treating wind-induced eye conditions, wind-heat eye swelling and pain, dryness, dizziness, redness, photophobia, tearing, and blurred vision. Apply multiple times daily; improvement is typically seen within 2-3 days.For elderly individuals experiencing wind-induced tearing, dryness, and blurred vision due to liver and kidney deficiency, daily warm washing with mulberry leaf decoction yields excellent results in clearing vision and reducing tearing. A typical treatment course lasts half a month, with 2-3 consecutive courses recommended. After completing one course, discontinue use for 3-5 days before starting the next course.
For treating suppurative otitis media topically with mulberry leaves: Take several fresh mulberry leaves, wash them, crush them to extract juice, and instill 1-2 drops of this juice into the ear three times daily. Symptoms typically resolve within 2-3 days.
Mulberry leaves offer surprising benefits for skin cleansing and dryness relief. As autumn arrives with reduced rainfall, frosty winds, and drier air, skin often feels parched and rough. Some experience cracked hands and feet, while aging individuals may develop fissures in exposed skin folds due to decreased sebum secretion. In such cases, bathing in a decoction of mulberry leaves proves both economical and highly effective.For dry, cracked hands and feet, soak them in the mulberry leaf decoction twice daily—morning and evening—for about half an hour each time. A course of treatment lasts 10 consecutive days. For facial dryness, persistently washing your face with mulberry leaf water will restore a moist, radiant complexion within days. It even offers beautifying and skin-nourishing benefits without the need for skincare products.
Mulberry leaves also effectively treat facial brown spots in women. The method is simple: Take 500 grams of frosted mulberry leaves, remove impurities, and consume 15 grams daily. Steep in boiling water as tea for one month per treatment cycle. Pigmentation typically lightens or spots partially fade after 15 days, with near-complete resolution after one full cycle.During treatment, increase consumption of soybean sprout soup. To consolidate results, continue the regimen as needed.
