How is fig traditionally used?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ibn Sīnā and Aghili Khorasani classify anjir as warm and moist (1st degree) — nourishing, blood-building, gently laxative, and softening for dry throats and hardened chest phlegm. Soaked figs on an empty stomach are the classical remedy for cold-and-dry constipation; fig-and-honey syrup for dry, unproductive cough; and the milk (latex) of the fresh fruit was traditionally used topically for warts.
