Fructus Quisqualis(Shijunzi), also known as the Chinese quince seed or Pachyrhizus erosus seed, is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine derived from the seeds of the Chinese quince plant. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat a variety of ailments and promote overall health.

The active compounds found in Shijunzi include triterpenoid saponins, flavonoids, and fatty oils. These compounds are believed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. Shijunzi is commonly used in TCM to address digestive issues such as indigestion, bloating, and constipation. It is thought to help regulate bowel movements and relieve symptoms associated with food stagnation.

In addition to its digestive benefits, Shijunzi is also used in TCM to support respiratory health. It may be helpful in alleviating cough and asthma symptoms by promoting the expulsion of phlegm and soothing irritated airways. Shijunzi is also believed to have potential benefits for women's health, particularly in treating menstrual disorders and easing postpartum discomforts.

Shijunzi can be consumed in various forms, including decoctions, pills, and powders.
