Winter melon is sweet, light, and cool in nature. It has the effects of moisturizing the lungs and promoting body fluid, resolving phlegm and quenching thirst, diuresis and swelling, clearing away heat and summer heat, and detoxifying and purging pus. It can also detoxify fish and alcohol. It is especially suitable for people who suffer from heat, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and lose weight. However, due to the coldness of wax gourd, the spleen and stomach are weak, the kidneys are weak and cold, those with chronic diseases and diarrhea, and those with yang deficiency and cold limbs eat less food.
Barley is digested and absorbed, porridge, soup, sugar water can be used. In summer and autumn, Cantonese people especially like to cook soup with winter melon to clear the heat and promote dampness. Barley is rich in nutrients. It is a better food for patients with chronic illness and recovery, the elderly, women, and children. It is slightly cold and does not hurt the stomach, and it benefits the spleen without being greasy. Pregnant women eat less.
Gorgon is a food that nourishes the qi and nourishes the body. It is suitable for chronic diarrhea, frequent urination, nocturnal emission, and women with poly backache. I also often pair it with barley and serve it in the soup together.
