Watermelon, The Urinary Bladder's Cleaning Agent

Watermelon is a summer fruit, because of its juiciness and cold nature. It clears away summer-heat and is thirst-quenching. Therefore, during summer it is everyone's favourite fruit and the most consumed fruit of all.

In summer people can over-perspire, therefore they should eat more watermelon to help restore the loss of bodily
fluids, and to avoid many summer-stroke symptoms such as headaches, lethargy (restlessness) and dry skin.

Also, watermelon is sweet in flavour and cold in nature, acting on channels of urinary bladder to induce diuresis. Therefore, those suffering from difficulty in urination should eat more watermelon which can assist in cleansing your urinary bladder. For those who have difficulty in urination - this is commonly related to damp-heat within the urinary bladder; and they should eat more watermelon, to help clear the internal damp-heat of the urinary bladder.

At our clinic we frequently come across patients with difficulty in urination. Besides dispensing them with Chinese herbs, we will always remind patients to eat more watermelon, to assist with a speedy recovery.
