The dosage is generally about 50 grams (Euryale ferox is used as medicine, and yam is dried with authentic raw yam).
White lentils have the effects of strengthening the spleen, eliminating dampness and relieving summer heat. Traditional Chinese medicine often uses them to treat diarrhea caused by damp heat in summer, and the dosage is generally about 30 grams. Ordinary people with dry stools should remove white lentils and replace them with 50 grams of almonds, because almonds have the function of opening lung qi and dredging large intestine.
