| Remarks | Two types of fruits are available commercially. The one which is imported from China is large in size with shining deep red skin, while that coming from the Gulf countries are somewhat globular and brownish in colour. The fruits coming from Kashmir are similar to those obtained from the Gulf countries but less sweet in taste. Seeds are used as a nerve tonic and antiarrythmia drug in the herbal Chinese medicine. They are also used as one of the ingredients in the preparations of traditional Chinese medicine "Kamikihito" which ameliorates the impaired learning performance. The fruits constitute one of the ingredients of several Kampo medicines such as "Kakkontokasenkyu" for clinical treatment of nasal inflammation and "Shosaikoto" for the treatment of the inflammatory diseases of the respiratory systems and hepatitis. The latter drug also exhibited inhibitory effect on the development of colon carcinomas in rats. | ||||
