The efficacy and function of ground melon

The efficacy and function of ground melon

1. Used as a medicinal material

The whole herb and fruit of this plant can be used as medicine. Its characteristics are "sweet and flat". It not only has the effects of invigorating qi and promoting lactation, but also has the effects of clearing away heat and reducing fire, quenching thirst and promoting salivation, and anti-inflammatory. In addition, it can also be used to help treat lung diseases.

Its collection and processing are also quite simple. It can be harvested in summer and autumn. After washing, cut them into sections and dry them, then they can be used.

2. Used as feed

We all know that in desert areas where grassland is sparse, feed may be scarce. However, this plant happens to grow in large quantities in deserts or semi-deserts, so it is a potential feed.

In fact, because its stems are relatively slender and the degree of lignification is relatively low, that is, the texture is very soft, so it can be said to be an above-average or even superior feed, which is very suitable for livestock to eat. Many animals can eat it, such as goats, camels, sheep, etc.

3. Used as food

Its young fruits can be eaten directly, and they are rich in nutrients. For example, its protein content is much higher than many other plants, and the content of nutrients such as ash is also high. In addition, the content of calcium is also higher than that of ordinary crops.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that it not only has a high protein content, but also has excellent quality.

4. Economic Value

The whole plant contains 1.5% rubber and 3.6% resin, which makes it a good industrial raw material. Then, there will be considerable economic benefits from growing it. In fact, this has become an important reason why many people grow it.
