Precautions editing

The common practice of red beans and barley is to boil red beans and barley in water, and then drink soup and eat beans. But in fact, there are four points that must be noted.

1, red bean is wrong.

The term "red bean" in Chinese medicine refers to adzuki bean. Red beans nourish the heart, and red beans remove moisture; In terms of shape, red beans are round and slender.

2. Coix seed is wrong

Coix seed is good at removing dampness, but it is too cold. If you cook it directly, it will hurt your spleen. The spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming moisture. When the spleen is injured, the moisture is even more unstable. The more I want to get rid of dampness, the wetter I get.

3. The cooking method is wrong

Red beans and coix seed are difficult to cook. It is best to soak them in hot water for an hour before cooking, otherwise it is difficult to get nutrition, but many people often cook them directly.

4, "light wet, not spleen" is wrong.

Spleen and moisture are "friends". If spleen deficiency, moisture will increase; Heavy moisture will lead to spleen deficiency. Therefore, to eliminate dampness, we must strengthen the spleen at the same time. The fourth point is particularly important. Why do some people drink red bean and barley porridge, but there is still moisture? A big reason is that the humidity is already heavy, which hurts the spleen, or spleen deficiency and dampness. It is suggested that Geyi decoction be used for conditioning, which can play a good role in invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness. [3]
