Many people may not know that barley and red bean soup is a good product for eliminating dampness. There is moisture in the body, and the effect of drinking barley and red bean soup is very significant. Let's take a concrete look at the efficacy of glutinous rice and red bean soup, how to make glutinous rice and red bean soup, and how to judge whether there is moisture in your body. The effect of barley and red bean soup is really serious. Coix lachryma-jobi seed, called "Coix lachryma-jobi seed" in Chinese medicine, is listed as the top grade in Shennong Herbal Classic. It can eliminate dampness and benefit the stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach, and can strengthen the body and replenish qi if taken for a long time. Red beans, known as "adzuki beans" in Chinese medicine, also have obvious diuretic and detumescence effects and spleen and stomach strengthening effects. Because they are red, they can nourish 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, it is none other than barley and red beans. 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. The "detumescence" effect of coix seed and red bean is also 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 soup 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. 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. People often ask: "Why can't barley and red bean soup be cooked into a sticky shape?" Don't add too much rice when cooking barley and red bean soup! 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. The above passage not only clearly explains the symptoms of dampness in the most popular language, how to distinguish whether there is dampness in the body and how to get rid of dampness, but also provides us with a good product for getting rid of dampness-barley red bean soup. Coix seed and red bean soup is the best remedy to remove moisture in the body. If the patient is diagnosed with dampness in the body, I often recommend two kinds of "drugs" to the patient. These two drugs can not only remove moisture from the body, but also be used as water and food. These two kinds of "drugs", one is coix seed and the other is adzuki bean (adzuki bean), are the best remedies to remove moisture in the body. Someone saw this folk prescription in my blog, gave me a lot of feedback and had some questions. I'd like to take this opportunity to answer your most concerned questions in detail. Many friends say that red beans and barley are difficult. How to cook it so as not to be sticky or thick. Can you put some rice or other food together? In fact, from the point of view of treatment, I suggest you don't use it. Because the main function of this barley and red bean soup is to clear away heat and dampness. Red adzuki bean is red, nourishing blood. It is recorded in ancient books that "long service makes people thin", which means that eating red beans often has the effect of losing weight. Coix seed is cold, which mainly has the function of clearing heat and promoting diuresis. Summer is just a hot summer, wet inside and wet outside. Using these two drugs can just nourish blood and eliminate dampness. It is this clear and light, non-sticky and non-thick phase that can achieve the effect of clearing heat and eliminating dampness. However, from the perspective of prevention, it is also good to add a handful of red beans and a handful of barley when cooking rice porridge. There are many skills and stresses on how to cook the glutinous rice and red bean soup. 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 then stay in the pot for half an hour after boiling, and the red bean soup 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. A friend asked me if everyone can drink barley and red bean soup. Are there any taboos? In fact, this soup is a good health care product without any side effects, but it can be appropriately added and subtracted for different people. Some people are cold, so you can add a little warm food, such as longan and jujube. Some people suffer from insomnia and their bodies are obviously wet and greasy, so add some lotus seeds and lilies; If a female friend has dysmenorrhea, she can remove the coix seed, cook some red bean soup, add some ginger slices, jujube and brown sugar, and drink it to warm her abdomen, which can also relieve the pain. For patients with joint pain, add some raw Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Glycyrrhizae to make them sweet and sour, nourish yin and remove arthralgia. People who are worried, overworked and do little exercise on weekdays often have a dull face, lack of energy, and even palpitations and drowsiness, feeling heavy as a bundle and empty inside. This is a sign of wet body and weak heart. You can add some longan to the barley and red bean soup and cook it together. Longan is sweet in taste and warm in nature, which can stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen, soothe the nerves, replenish blood, nourish the heart and yang, warm the heart and make people full of essence. And the simple glutinous rice and red bean soup tastes very ordinary. After adding longan, it becomes sweet and slightly sweet. It not only dispels the moisture in our bodies, but also brings vitality and warmth to our hearts. Let's call it glutinous rice red bean longan porridge, which is especially suitable for manual workers and middle-aged and elderly people. Young people are prone to irritability and insomnia, or rashes and papules on their faces are all caused by excessive fire in the heart and lungs and internal disturbance of damp heat. Washing your face with barley and red bean soup has a miraculous effect, or adding lily and lotus seeds to the soup to cook and drink. Lily can moisten the lungs, nourish the skin, clear the heart and soothe the nerves. Lotus seeds can nourish the heart, clear the heart fire, and strengthen the spleen and kidney at the same time.
