How is quince traditionally used?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ibn Sīnā and Aghili Khorasani classify beh as cool and dry in the 1st degree — strengthening for the stomach, calming for the heart and mind, tonifying after fever, and closing an irritated bowel. Quince jam (moraba-ye beh) is prescribed after illness and childbirth as a gentle rebuilder; quince-seed tea for hot, dry cough and sore throat; and roasted quince for hot-stomach pattern indigestion.
