Pumpkin not only has high edible value. It also has a dietotherapy effect that cannot be ignored. According to "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica", pumpkin is warm, sweet and non-toxic. Into the spleen and stomach, it can moisten the lungs and replenish qi, eliminate phlegm and discharge pus, expel worms and detoxify, treat cough and asthma, treat lung abscess and constipation, and has diuretic and beauty effects. In recent years, the research experiments of medical experts and scholars at home and abroad show that eating pumpkin can also treat prostate hypertrophy (pumpkin seeds can treat prostate hypertrophy), prevent prostate cancer, prevent arteriosclerosis and gastric ulcer, and dissolve stones.
Pumpkins are warm, and those with stomach heat eat less; Pumpkins are stagnant, and those who are full of qi stagnation should eat carefully.
