The efficacy and function of melon stem

Melon stems have many benefits from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, but also have many contraindications. Melon stems are particularly suitable for patients with stroke or chest pain. The melon stems can be boiled into soup, which has particularly good medicinal value for these two diseases. However, melon stem is a double-edged sword. It has good curative effect but is also very toxic and is not particularly suitable for patients with weak stomachs. This article introduces the effects and functions of melon stems. Let’s take a look.

1. The efficacy and function of melon stem

The melon stem has the effect of vomiting phlegm and food, removing dampness and relieving jaundice. It is especially suitable for stroke, damp-heat jaundice, epilepsy, laryngeal congestion, excessive phlegm, breathing problems, chest and abdominal distension and pain, and indigestion. People can induce vomiting by boiling melon stems into soup, which is very effective. Although melon stems have certain effects, they are also poisonous Chinese medicine.

2. People who are not suitable for eating melon stems

Although melon stems have significant therapeutic effects, they are bitter and cold in nature, so they should not be taken in large quantities. Otherwise, poisoning symptoms such as dizziness, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, and diarrhea may easily occur. In severe cases, dehydration may cause electrolyte imbalance, leading to circulatory failure and paralysis of the respiratory center, leading to death. In addition, people with weak body, spleen, stomach, illness or childbirth, blood loss, or no solid evil in the upper part should not use melon stems, because the emetic effect of melon stems is very strong, and vomiting will damage stomach function. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it means damaging stomach qi, which is vital to the life activities of the human body. It should be noted that when people use melon stems to induce vomiting, if there is evil, it will attack the evil, and if there is no evil, it will hurt the body, so you must be cautious when taking melon stems.

3. The efficacy of melon stem

1. The melon stem has significant effects. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the melon stem is bitter and cold in nature. It is usually ground into powder and taken orally. Inhale the melon stem powder from one nostril into the nasal mucosa and observe for 24 hours. During medication, pay attention to gargling with salt water to reduce the irritation of the drug to the patient's throat. After being absorbed by the nasal mucosa, melon stem powder acts on the meridians, blood vessels and internal organs, entering the meridians directly to the lesions and achieving the purpose of curing diseases. Therefore, nasal therapy has the effect of opening the orifices, removing blockages, and promoting the flow of qi, and the dispersion of Chinese medicine can act on the nasal mucosa with rich blood flow to enable the drug to take effect quickly, which is similar to intravenous administration.

2. The administration of melon stem powder has the advantages of small dosage and rapid onset of effect, which is beneficial to the drug's effect and does not require metabolism. It can reduce the burden on the liver and avoid aggravating liver damage. Scientific experiments have shown that the effect of inhaling melon stem powder into the nose for patients with cholestasis is no less than that of SimiTec and hormones. After taking the medicine, the more nasal secretions a patient has, the faster he or she excretes bilirubin. In addition, melon stem powder is particularly effective for patients with refractory jaundice caused by alcohol.
