AHM Properties
Fig builds Qi, moistens and nourishes Yin, cools excess heat in the Lung and Stomach, lubricates the bowels, and helps resolve swellings. It works gently and reliably for dry cough, constipation rooted in intestinal dryness, and Stomach heat with thirst. Its properties are mild and broad enough to suit most people regardless of constitution or age.
Figs contain quercetin, kaempferol, and anthocyanins that contribute to their antioxidant and mild anti-inflammatory profile, supporting their AHM role in tonifying the Spleen and Stomach and nourishing fluids.
Contraindications
Avoid excess in damp-heat or Spleen deficiency with loose stools.
