Next, I will explain the two functions of Guagua, one is to replenish qi and broaden chest, and the other is to clear away heat and resolve phlegm. Eating Guagua can relax the chest and disperse the knot, so it is often used as a medicine for treating chest obstruction and chest knot. If you want to treat the symptoms of phlegm and chest obstruction, you can use Guagua with Pinellia ternata and Allium macrostemon. If you want to treat the symptoms of phlegm-heat chest obstruction, you can mix Rhizoma Coptidis, Guagua and Rhizoma Pinelliae to make soup. The second obvious function of pumpkin is to clear away heat and resolve phlegm. Because pumpkin has the effect of moistening dryness with sweetness and coldness, its effect of clearing lung and resolving phlegm is naturally representative. Can be eaten alone, together with Fritillaria thunbergii and Anemarrhena asphodeloides, with better effect. If the stool is not smooth and there are symptoms of chest tightness, it can be matched with Arisaema cum bile. When Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and Radix Scutellariae are taken together, the effect is equivalent to Qingqi Huatan Pill.

Finally, talk about the efficacy of pumpkin. The effect of pumpkin is still obvious. When treating lung abscess, cough and vomiting blood, pumpkin can often be used together with Houttuynia cordata and Phragmites communis as a supplement.
