Recently, it has been suggested that wax gourd can treat prostatitis and eliminate gallstones. If you have a similar disease, you can cure it by eating melon. Is there any scientific basis for this formulation? Is it pseudoscience or fooling people? Might as well help you solve your doubts. Wax gourd is a common vegetable on the dining table and is cultivated all over China. Many chemical components in wax gourd have significant physiological activities. The pulp of wax gourd contains adenine, and the pulp of wax gourd contains trigonelline and multivitamins. Wax melon skin contains wax and resin substances; Wax gourd seeds contain urea and urease and are rich in vitamin B 1. Modern scientific research has proved that wax gourd is light in taste and slightly cold in nature, which can clear fire, induce diuresis, remove dampness, detoxify and quench thirst. In addition, wax gourd can also inhibit the transformation of carbohydrates into fat, which can prevent the accumulation of fat in the human body, so it has the function of losing weight and lowering blood fat. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, patients with nephritis eat more wax gourd, which can also reduce swelling. The main function of wax gourd juice is to relieve some symptoms caused by prostatic hyperplasia and relieve prostate inflammation. Cholelithiasis is an ancient disease, the real cause of which is not clear. Cholelithiasis is mainly composed of bile (the rest includes cholesterol, bile pigment and even calcium ions). Improper diet or bacterial infection of biliary tract, coupled with obstruction of excretory pathway, will cause excessive components to precipitate and form stones. In daily eating habits, we should avoid eating high-fat foods, so as to avoid uneven distribution of cholesterol, lecithin and bile acids in bile, which is easy to precipitate stones and crystals; The main treatment methods of gallstones are non-surgical treatment (oral cholic acid and other drugs to dissolve stones, Chinese medicine to dissolve stones and promote stone removal) and surgical treatment (traditional open surgery to remove gallstones, laparoscopic mini-incision to remove gallstones, laparoscopic combined with choledochoscope to explore bile ducts to remove stones). Drinking wax gourd juice can alleviate the symptoms of patients at most, and it is definitely an exaggeration to eliminate stones by this alone. This statement has no scientific basis at all. We should also remember that even as an auxiliary dietotherapy, people who have been ill for a long time and those who are weak should not eat wax gourd often because of its slight cold.
