Semen Abutili(Dongkuizi), also known as Winter Melon seeds or Benincasa hispida seeds, is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine derived from the dried and mature seeds of the winter melon fruit. 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 Dongkuizi include fatty oils, proteins, and vitamins. These compounds are believed to have diuretic, laxative, and anti-inflammatory properties. Dongkuizi is commonly used in TCM to promote urination and relieve water retention, making it useful for treating edema and hypertension.

In addition to its diuretic effects, Dongkuizi is also used in TCM to address digestive issues such as constipation and indigestion. It may help regulate bowel movements and relieve symptoms associated with food stagnation. Dongkuizi is also believed to have potential benefits for skin health due to its ability to promote fluid elimination and improve circulation.

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