Health Benefits and Uses
Moreover, Cydonia Vulgaris acts directly on the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. This action tones the digestive lining and reduces excessive secretions effectively. Consequently, it helps patients with chronic bowel complaints and gastric irritability. Also, its astringent properties reduce inflammation in the oral cavity and throat.
