Name: Squirting Cucumber

Other Names: Ecballium elaterium, Exploding cucumber

Description: Ecballium elaterium, also called the squirting cucumber or exploding cucumber, is a plant in the cucumber family. Squirting Cucumber gets its unusual name from the fact that, when ripe, it squirts a stream of mucilaginous liquid containing its seeds, which can be seen with the naked eye. Squirting Cucumber is thus considered to have rapid plant movement. Squirting Cucumber is native to Europe, northern Africa, and temperate areas of Asia. Squirting Cucumber is grown as an ornamental plant elsewhere, and in some places it has naturalized. The juice of the fruit is antirheumatic, cardiac and purgative. The plant is a very powerful purgative that causes evacuation of water from the bowels. Squirting Cucumber is used internally in the treatment of oedema associated with kidney complaints, heart problems, rheumatism, paralysis and shingles. Externally, it has been used to treat sinusitis and painful joints. It should be used with great caution and only under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. Excessive doses have caused gastro-enteritis and even death. It should not be used by pregnant women since it can cause an abortion.
