Dong Gua Zi (冬瓜籽) is situated among the “herbs that drain dampness” in TCM. Its taste is sweet and its nature is slightly cold. Its key functions include clearing heat, draining dampness, promoting urination, resolving phlegm, and discharging pus. It is often used in patterns of damp-heat or phlegm-heat in the respiratory or intestinal systems, such as sticky yellow sputum, abscess formation, urinary difficulty, or damp-heat vaginal discharge.
