In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pumpkin is considered sweet and warm in nature, and it targets the spleen and stomach meridians. It has the effect of tonifying the middle and replenishing Qi, making it an excellent ingredient for warming the body and strengthening health during the winter. Pumpkin is rich in carbohydrates and pectin, which can protect the gastrointestinal mucosa. Its abundant vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, and other components make it a master at strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion. The rich pectin in pumpkin can also promote the healing of ulcers, "adsorb" bacteria and toxic substances (including heavy metals like lead), and has a detoxifying effect. The mannitol in pumpkin has a laxative effect, which can reduce the harm of toxins in the stool to the human body.
