The chestnut shell is spherical and slightly flat.

Traditional Chinese medicine calls the thorny hard shell of chestnut "fengli shell", which has the effects of astringing, removing phlegm, and dispersing nodules. It is often used in clinical medicine to treat chronic bronchitis, cough with sputum, whooping cough, lymphadenitis, mumps and other diseases. Therefore, Chinese medicine often uses Fengli Ke with Xia Ku Cao, or uses Platycodon grandiflorum, Burdock seed and other heat-clearing and phlegm-resolving drugs together to treat chronic cervical lymphadenitis and lymphadenitis. Burn three or four chestnut shells into charcoal, grind them into medicinal powder, add appropriate amount of pure honey, mix well with hot water and take it twice a day to treat hemorrhoid bleeding. Applying the powder of Fengli Ke medicine to the injured area can also stop bleeding. Taking chestnut bark decoction internally can cure dysentery. External washing can remove erysipelas.
