Watermelon dietary effects and watermelon dishes

What are the benefits of eating watermelon regularly for our body? We all know that watermelon is a fruit with very rich nutritional value. So what kind of therapeutic effect does it have? Let me tell you today:

Therapeutic effects of watermelon

Watermelon is cold in nature and sweet in taste. It is good for the heart, stomach and bladder meridians. It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, and promoting diuresis and relieving restlessness. It is mainly used to treat chest and diaphragm qi stagnation, fullness and discomfort, urination difficulties, mouth and nose sores, summer heat, heatstroke, and alcohol detoxification. Watermelon seeds can clear and moisten the lungs, harmonize the stomach and quench thirst, and aid digestion. It can treat vomiting blood and chronic cough. The seed shell is used to treat intestinal wind bleeding and bloody dysentery.

"Ben Jing Feng Yuan" records: Watermelon can draw heat from the pericardium and go down through the small intestine and bladder. It can relieve sunstroke and thirst caused by fever in the Taiyang and Yangming meridians, so it is called the natural "Baihu Decoction". Baihu Decoction is a prescription from Han Shanghan Lun, which can clear away heat, promote the production of body fluid, relieve thirst and relieve restlessness, which means that watermelon rind has the same function as watermelon rind. In spring and summer, when the latent qi causes plague and fever, people who find it the previous year can eat it, which is like pouring soup on snow.
