Jujube thorns, a byproduct of the jujube tree, are valued in China for their medicinal properties and are sold at a high price on e-commerce sites. These thorns are used in traditional Chinese medicine to clear heat, detoxify, and reduce symptoms such as fever and sore throat. They also help in relieving swelling, pain, and supporting the treatment of liver diseases, swollen lymph nodes, and eczema. However, overconsumption can cause diarrhea and stomachache. In Vietnam, these thorns are not recognized for their therapeutic value and are generally avoided due to their sharpness.
