Generally speaking, Xigua Shuang (Watermelon Frost) Spray refers to a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine composed of ingredients such as borneol, peppermint oil, and menthol. The main functions and effects of Watermelon Frost include clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, soothing and lubricating the throat, and promoting healing. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Clearing Heat and Detoxifying
Watermelon Frost has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is commonly used to eliminate internal heat toxins and alleviate symptoms of oral inflammation and sore throat caused by conditions such as wind-heat attacking upward or excessive heat in the lung and stomach. Additionally, it can help prevent heatiness to some extent.
2. Reducing Swelling and Relieving Pain
Watermelon Frost helps reduce swelling and relieve pain. When sprayed directly into the mouth, it can alleviate symptoms such as oral ulcers and swollen, painful gums. At the same time, it helps reduce inflammatory edema in the surrounding tissues.
3. Anti-inflammatory and Antibacterial Effects
Watermelon Frost also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It can kill sensitive bacteria and inhibit fungal activity. It is commonly used to treat oral inflammation and infections.
4. Soothing and Lubricating the Throat
Watermelon Frost protects the throat mucosa, helping to keep the throat moist and thereby reducing dryness and irritation.
5. Promoting Healing
Watermelon Frost promotes healing of oral mucosal wounds and accelerates mucosal repair. It is commonly used to treat injuries to the oral and throat mucosa, including inflammation-related damage, scratches, and puncture wounds.
Precautions should be observed before using Watermelon Frost. Individuals allergic to any of the ingredients should not use it. Lactating women and children should use it under medical guidance to avoid improper use that may cause discomfort.
