About Quince (Beh)
Quince (Beh) (Cydonia oblonga) is a herb used in the Persian Medicine tradition to help with Digestive Issues, Diarrhea, Nausea, and High Blood Pressure. The aerial parts and leaves are the parts traditionally used, taken internally.
Botanical background
The quince (/ˈkwɪns/; Cydonia oblonga) is the sole member of the genus Cydonia in the family Rosaceae (which also contains apples and pears, among other fruits). It is a small deciduous tree that bears a pome fruit, similar in appearance to a pear, and bright golden-yellow when mature. Throughout history the cooked fruit has been used as food, but the tree is also grown for its attractive pale pink blossoms and other ornamental qualities.
