How is peach traditionally used?

Ibn Sīnā and Aghili Khorasani read holu as cool and moist in the 1st–2nd degree — refreshing for the body, cooling for summer heat, and gentle on the stomach when eaten ripe on an empty stomach. Firm unripe peaches are avoided in cold-dry pattern digestion; ripe peaches at room temperature are considered the ideal form.
