(1) It should not be consumed in excess, as this may trigger wind pathogenic factors and alternating chills and fever. Furthermore, it can induce malaria (malaria) and lead to the accumulation of blood stasis (blood stasis). [Volume: Heart]
(2) Commentary: Excessive consumption causes deficiency heat (deficiency heat) and rebellious qi (rebellious qi), leading to various diseases, damaging yin essence (yin essence), inducing sores (sores) and scabies (scabies), triggering qi disorders (qi disorders), and causing beriberi (beriberi), while impairing the blood vessels (blood vessels). It should not be eaten after recovery from epidemic febrile diseases (epidemic febrile diseases). [Volume: Heart]
(3) If children consume it, it may induce dysentery (dysentery), cause intestinal sliding (intestinal sliding), and generate roundworms (roundworms). [Volume]
(4) Additionally, it should not be eaten with cheese (cheese); otherwise, the disease will inevitably recur. [Volume]
(5) Additionally, crushing the root and applying it topically to toxic swellings caused by Hu thorns is very effective. [Volume]
(Cucumber / Hu Gua)
(6) Leaves: Bitter in taste, neutral in nature, slightly toxic. Primarily treats pediatric "shan pi" (a pediatric condition involving abdominal masses or distension): One-year-old children take one leaf; those older than one year take an adjusted dose. Freshly crushed juice taken orally induces vomiting (vomiting) or purgation (purgation). [Jia Bu]
(7) Roots: Crushed and applied topically to toxic swellings caused by Hu thorns. [Jia Bu]
(8) The fruit: Sweet in taste, cold in nature, toxic. Do not eat in excess, as it triggers chills and fever, increases susceptibility to malaria (malaria), accumulates stasis-heat (stasis-heat), induces zhu qi (chronic wasting disease characterized by transmission), causes deficiency heat rising upward (deficiency heat), shortness of breath (shortness of breath), various diseases, sores and scabies (sores), damages yin essence (yin essence), blood vessels (blood vessels), and qi, and induces beriberi (beriberi). It should not be eaten after recovery from epidemic febrile diseases (epidemic febrile diseases). Children must strictly avoid it, as it causes intestinal sliding (intestinal sliding) and generates roundworms (roundworms). Do not eat with vinegar (vinegar). People in the North also call it huang gua (yellow cucumber), named to avoid the taboo of Shi Le's name, hence the name remains unchanged. [Jia Bu]
(1) The aforementioned therapeutic effects include regulating yin and yang (yin and yang), benefiting the stomach and intestines (stomach and intestines), and relieving thirst (thirst). However, long-term consumption should be avoided, as it may induce dysentery (dysentery). [Volume: Heart]
(2) Commentary: This substance tends to stir up wind pathogenic factors (wind pathogenic factors). Although it relieves thirst (thirst), it can induce various sores (sores). It makes the body weak (weakness), legs weak (leg weakness), and the debility severe enough to prevent walking (walking difficulty). Children should not eat it in summer, as it leads to dysentery (dysentery) and parasitic infections (parasites). It causes coldness in the waist and legs (cold limbs), and pain below the umbilicus (abdominal pain). [Volume: Heart · Evidence]
(3) It should not be eaten after suffering from acute infectious diseases (acute infectious diseases). [Volume: Evidence]
(4) It must not be eaten with cow milk (cow milk) and cheese (cheese). [Volume]
(5) Additionally, do not eat it with vinegar (vinegar) on an empty stomach, as this will cause heart pain (heart pain). [Volume]
