An old Chinese medicine prescription for removing dampness
Get rid of the moisture in the body, the method is simple, just two? Medicine? . These two medicines can be eaten as tea and can solve big problems. One is coix seed and the other is red bean. These two things don't need to be caught in any proportion at a time. Wash them and cook them in a pot with water. Is it good to remove dampness and strengthen the spleen after cooking? Coix seed and red bean porridge
As for the efficacy, it is really serious. Coix seed, what is it called in Chinese medicine? Coix seed? Shen Nong's Classic of Materia Medica lists it as the top grade. Long-term use of it can cure dampness, benefit the stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach, and make people strong and benefit the qi. Red beans, called in Chinese medicine? Red beans? It also has obvious effects of promoting diuresis, reducing swelling and strengthening spleen and stomach, because it is red and enters the heart, so it can also replenish the heart. Modern people are under great mental pressure and lack of spirit; Poor diet, less exercise, spleen deficiency and dampness. To eliminate dampness, nourish the heart and strengthen the spleen and stomach, barley and red beans are the only ones. Boiling it into porridge is intended to make its effective components fully absorbed by the human body, and at the same time it will not cause too much burden on the spleen and stomach.
About barley and red beans? Detumescence? Function, and very interesting. We must not think that swelling is edema. Look at people now, at least five or six out of ten people are fat and swollen, which is called bloated. In Chinese medicine, obesity or edema means that the body is wet, and water can't stay between somatic cells with the flow of qi and blood, which makes the human body expand rapidly. So is edema, and so is obesity, but to different degrees. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidification function can discharge these watery liquids remaining in the human body and also reduce swelling. Therefore, red beans must be used to treat edema, and practice has proved that barley red bean porridge has a good weight loss effect, which can not only lose weight, but also does not hurt the body. Especially for middle-aged and elderly obesity, the effect is particularly good.
There are many skills and exquisite skills in the cooking of glutinous rice and red bean porridge. Coix seed is hard, and so are red beans. If you keep cooking in the pot, it won't rot for more than an hour, wasting fire or electricity, and may even dry the water, causing the bottom to paste. I suggest two ways: first, add enough water to the pot, turn off the fire after boiling, let the barley and red beans stay in the pot for half an hour, add fire, and stay in the pot for half an hour after boiling, and the red bean porridge will be cooked. The second method is simpler, that is, clean the thermos bottle that is not commonly used in our family now, put the coix seed and red beans in it, then pour in boiling water and plug the bottle cap to make it stuffy. Every night, there will be porridge in the morning, just for breakfast. This is very simple and energy-saving, so you don't need to cook it. One advantage of glutinous rice red bean porridge is that it won't be sticky. There are always rotten red beans and glutinous rice under it, and reddish soup on it. Most of the effective components of glutinous rice and red beans are in the soup. Because there is a lot of water when cooking porridge, these soups can be drunk as tea for a long time. If it is summer, you should try to finish it in the morning, because it will go bad in the afternoon. Those glutinous rice and red beans that sink to the bottom can still be eaten. If it doesn't taste good, you can add some sugar. Can't this be both tea and dinner?

Dampness is the root of all kinds of chronic incurable diseases in modern times, and Coix seed and red bean soup is a good medicine for treating dampness. After I prescribe drugs to patients in clinic, I always tell them some matters needing attention in diet and daily life, the most important of which is to go back and drink barley and red bean soup as tea. For patients who really don't have this condition, I will let him cook porridge with barley and red beans as the staple food for dinner. A student once asked me: Why do people drink barley and red bean soup and barley and red bean porridge? I said, because getting wet in the body is a common problem of modern people, barley and red bean soup is suitable for everyone. This is a fact. I have a patient who runs a big company. He felt particularly good after drinking my glutinous rice and red bean porridge. He even ordered his company's kitchen to cook porridge with glutinous rice and red beans every morning to make breakfast for employees who arrived early. Put the boiled highland barley and red bean soup in several large heat preservation barrels for the employees of the whole company to drink.
People often ask:? Why can't barley and red bean porridge be cooked into a sticky state? Someone thinks he's smart and says to me: I added a handful of rice when I cooked glutinous rice and red bean porridge. As a result, the porridge thickened and tasted delicious! ?
I said:? Never add rice to it! ? Why? Because rice grows in water and contains moisture, it is wet and sticky, so it will thicken when cooked. Both red beans and coix seed are dehumidified and contain no water, so they are not strong and the soup is clear. Traditional Chinese medicine just uses its clarity to get rid of the dryness and dampness of the human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding water, so the whole porridge is thick. Although the taste is better, it is not a good thing for health. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and barley were wasted, and the effect was useless.
People often ask me: Can you add Euryale ferox to barley and red bean porridge? I don't understand why people like gorgon fruit so much. Is it because it is expensive? Is it because the ancients respected it? Make up for it? What? Euryale ferox is a good thing, but not everyone can eat it. For the weak, even premature ejaculation, nocturnal emission, nocturnal emission, it can astringent essence, tonify the middle energizer, and is a food that nourishes qi and blood and makes people strong. However, the living conditions of modern people are so good that I am afraid that few people are really weak. Most people's bodies are full of real evil. If you eat solid and astringent food again, you are afraid that evil spirits will be trapped in your body, and there will be endless future troubles. Although Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica is listed as the top grade, we should not be superstitious about what the ancients said, but choose according to the physique of modern people!
It is also worth noting that pregnant women should be careful or avoid using coix seed if they feel that they are not wet, but red beans can be used. We can make a subtraction for the glutinous rice and red bean soup, subtract the glutinous rice, and then add it according to the above ideas. You can add some other categories such as jujube, lily, medlar, etc. It can also be made into soup, which can not only eliminate dampness, but also have other effects.
