Wax gourd tastes sweet and light, and its nature is slightly cold. It has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting diuresis, eliminating phlegm, relieving vexation, quenching thirst, and eliminating dampness and relieving summer heat.

Ginger tastes pungent and warm, and has the effects of dispelling cold and sweating and harmonizing the stomach.

Ginger and wax gourd are opposite in nature. But you can go fishy.

You can put less, but it is not easy to put more.
