It’s easy to solve, diet therapy is OK. Red beans, barley. Keep eating every day. These two things are excellent products for removing dampness and heat.
I recommend you to read one of the books "The Wisdom of Not Being Sick". I don't remember the specific author's name. His teachings are very impressive. Hu Haiya and Tai Chen Yingning are both famous in the world of monasticism and traditional Chinese medicine. Famous, even famous in the martial arts world.
Then don’t eat spicy or greasy food, and eat vegetables to death. Don’t think that fruits can replace vegetables, that’s all a lie. Only vegetables can replace fruits, and no fruits can replace vegetables.
I am in college, my life is not planned well, I have no money, and I eat vegetables every day. As a result, my eyes glow green when I see meat. As a result, my face is not as hot as before, and acne does not recur. I assure you from my own experience. Remember that you have to eat vegetables to the extent that I do to have obvious effects, and other lifestyle habits must also be good. Don't eat too much vegetables and your work and rest will be irregular.
I will give you an excerpt from the book "The Wisdom of Not Being Sick".
There is no way, the disease is so disgusting, we Chinese medicine doctors imagine the evil situation in the body by observing what can be seen outside. Of course, if you really don’t want to observe your stool, you can also look at your tongue. You might as well take two precious seconds before brushing your teeth every morning, stick out your tongue and observe whether it is caused by tooth marks or yellowish and greasy tongue coating - greasy is what appears on the tongue. The liquid feels very sticky. If so, it is also a sign of moisture in the body. The more yellow or greasy it is, the more severe the dampness evil is.
Once, we traveled to the suburbs. The conditions in the suburbs were worse than those in the urban areas, especially the toilets. There were no flushing facilities. Once inside, the smell was overwhelming, and the pits were full of human feces. Most people would find it quite disgusting, but as a person, I find it even more disgusting! Why? Based on my professional habits, I immediately judged that these stools were not normal stools.
What kind of stool is normal? When we took physiological anatomy classes before, there were descriptions of human excretion, including stool, in medical terms. Everyone listened. They all feel funny, called "golden, cylindrical; banana-shaped, very smooth". But I saw no one in this public toilet had poop like this. They are all cyan or green, and very few are formed. There is a curse saying, "Speaking of people's words but not doing others' business, eating people's food but not shitting others." There are many "people who eat people's food but don't shit people" in modern times.
Blue-green feces, to put it bluntly, is not human feces! What causes this kind of person’s feces to turn dark green? The first is eating too much meat, and the second is There is contamination in the food we eat. In addition, modern people exercise less, their bodies have excess yin and yang deficiency, and the dampness is internally depressed, so they have irregular bowel movements. Why are there so few formed stools? According to traditional Chinese medicine, spleen deficiency results in loose stools. Chinese people are supposed to eat whole grains, but now they mainly eat meat. Many people feel bad if they don’t eat meat for a day. In this way, what is harmed is The spleen and stomach are responsible for transporting water and dampness. If the spleen is injured, water and dampness cannot be completely transported and transformed, so they accumulate in the body. Therefore, unformed stool means spleen deficiency and moisture in the body.
Among the "six evil evils" of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire that cause disease, Chinese medicine is most afraid of dampness.
Moisture is the easiest to penetrate. Shit evil never fights alone, but always colludes with other evil spirits. When moisture meets cold, it becomes cold dampness. This is just like in winter. If the climate is dry, no matter how cold it is, people can still tolerate it, but if the humidity is heavy, people will feel uncomfortable. Winter in the south is more uncomfortable than winter in the north because the humidity in the south is heavier and the cold and dampness hit you. When moisture meets heat, it becomes humid heat. This is like a sauna day in summer. It is hot and humid, making people breathless. It is obviously not as pleasant as when the sun is blazing and the climate is dry. When moisture meets wind, it becomes rheumatism. It is easy to drive away wind, but once it becomes rheumatism, it is often a chronic disease that cannot be cured in a short while. Moisture under the skin causes obesity, which is also a health problem that is difficult to deal with...
Why are modern people's diseases so complicated and difficult to treat? Because there is moisture in their bodies, and the evil spirits outside the body are always in contact with the inside. The moisture inside should be combined with the outside, so entangled! In the past, Sichuan cuisine was only popular in southwest my country, but now it is popular all over the country? It is because Sichuan flavor is spicy. In the past, only people living in the southwest area where dampness was relatively heavy needed to use it to resolve the dampness in the body. Nowadays, people all over the country have moisture in their bodies, and they need spicy food to resolve it, so everyone instinctively fell in love with Sichuan cuisine.
Sick people have stubborn dampness evil inside them; even seemingly healthy people have dampness evil lurking there waiting for opportunities to act. So, how can you tell whether there is moisture in your body? There is a very intuitive and convenient way, which is to look at the stool:
1. If the stool is not formed and the stool is loose, there must be moisture in the body.
2. If the stool is formed, but there will always be some stuck to the toilet after the stool is finished, making it difficult to flush it down, this is also a sign of moisture in the body, because moisture is sticky.
3. If it is not convenient to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. If the stool is normal, a piece of toilet paper will wipe it clean. But for people with wetness in their bodies, one toilet paper is not enough. It takes three to five to wipe it clean.
4. If you have constipation and the stool is not formed, it means that the moisture in the body is already very heavy. The stickiness of the moisture makes the stool stick to the intestines and be absorbed by the intestines. without letting it pass out of the body. In this way, fecal poison enters the blood, and all kinds of diseases arise, and people often judge the disease based on the disease without understanding that the root cause of the disease lies in the moisture in the body, and treat it indiscriminately, which is even more terrible.
5. Some people still feel very sleepy when they get up at seven o'clock every morning. They feel like there is something wrapped around their heads, which makes them unenergetic, or they feel like there is something on their body. It is wrapped so that people are too lazy to move, so you can tell that there is a lot of moisture in his body without looking at his tongue or stool. In Chinese medicine, it is said that "wetness is as heavy as a wrap". This feeling of being wrapped is the body's feeling of moisture, which is as awkward as wearing a shirt that has not been washed and not dried.
Dampness is the nemesis of modern people’s health and the source or accomplice of most intractable and chronic diseases. As long as the dampness evil is reduced, all so-called modern diseases will be far away from us, and all disgusting and chronic diseases will lose their support for existence. How to deal with and get rid of dampness evil will be one of the core contents of my future articles. Get the moisture out of your body and everything will feel less disgusting.
Barley, known as "coix kernel" in Chinese medicine, is listed as top grade in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". It can cure dampness, benefit the intestines and stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and lighten the body after long-term use. Replenish qi.
Adzuki bean is red and is red in the heart, so it can also replenish the heart and nourish blood. Ancient books record that it “makes people lose weight if taken for a long time”, which means that eating adzuki beans regularly can also help lose weight. It also has obvious effects of diuresis, reducing swelling, and strengthening the spleen and stomach. Modern people suffer from high mental stress, weak heart, improper diet, little exercise, and excessive spleen and dampness. Not only to remove dampness, but also to replenish the heart, and to strengthen the spleen and stomach, barley and adzuki beans are the best. Boiling it into porridge is intended to allow the active ingredients to be fully absorbed by the body without causing much burden on the spleen and stomach. Summer happens to be a time of continuous heat, with internal and external dampness. Using these two herbs can just play a role in nourishing blood and removing dampness.
The method to remove moisture from the body is very simple and only requires two "medicines". These two medicines can be drunk as tea or eaten as food, and they can solve big problems. One is barley and the other is red bean. These two things do not need to be in any proportion, just grab a handful each time, wash them well and put them in a pot with water to boil. After boiling, it is a good product to remove dampness and strengthen the spleen - barley and adzuki bean porridge.
There are many techniques and particularities in making barley and adzuki bean porridge. Barley is very hard, and adzuki beans are also very hard. If you put it in a pot and keep boiling it, it will not become rotten for more than an hour. It is a waste of fire or electricity, and it may also dry out the water, causing a mushy bottom.
So the cooking method is very particular: first soak the barley and adzuki beans for a few hours, then put it in a pot and add enough water. After boiling, turn off the heat and let the barley and adzuki beans simmer for half of the time. hour, add fire, boil and simmer for half an hour, the adzuki bean porridge is ready. If you have a pressure cooker, just soak it and cook it for a while.
One advantage of barley and adzuki bean porridge is that it never becomes sticky or thick no matter how you cook it. The bottom is always the boiled adzuki beans and barley, and the top is the light red soup, the active ingredients of barley and adzuki bean. Most of it is in the soup. It is this light, non-sticky, non-sticky texture that can achieve the effect of clearing away heat and removing dampness.
Since a lot of water is added when making porridge, the soup may be enough for us to drink for half a day, which can be used as tea. If it's summer, you have to try to finish it in the morning. It's easy for it to go rancid in the afternoon when it's hot. The barley and adzuki beans that sink to the bottom can still be eaten. If you feel the taste is not good, you can mix in some sugar. Can't this be drunk as tea or eaten as food?
The "swelling" effect of barley and adzuki beans is also very interesting. We must not think that swelling means edema. At least five or six of the ten people around you are fat. This is also called bloated body. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, whether it is obesity or edema, it means that there is moisture in the body. The water cannot flow with the qi and blood and stays between the body cells, causing the body to expand rapidly. Edema is the same, obesity is also the same, but the degree is different. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidification properties can remove the water trapped in the human body and reduce swelling. Therefore, adzuki beans must be used to treat edema, and practice has proven that barley and adzuki bean porridge has a good weight loss effect. It can lose weight without harming the body. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people with obesity, the effect is particularly good.
People often think they are smart and say to me: "When I was making barley and adzuki bean porridge, I added a small handful of rice, and the porridge became thicker. The taste is so beautiful!"
I said: "Don't add rice!" Why? Because rice grows in water, contains moisture, and is wet and sticky, so the rice becomes thicker as soon as it is boiled. Adzuki beans and barley are both dehumidified and do not contain moisture, so they are not thick no matter how you cook them, and the soup is very clear. Traditional Chinese medicine takes advantage of its clearing properties to remove dampness from the human body. Once rice is added, moisture is added, so the entire porridge becomes thicker. Although the taste is better, it is not a good thing for health. Just because of that handful of rice, all the adzuki beans and barley are in vain and have no effect.
Some friends asked me if everyone can drink barley and adzuki bean soup. Are there any taboos? In fact, this soup is a good health food and has no side effects, but it can be made appropriately for different people. Some addition and subtraction.
Some people have a cold constitution, so they can add some warming foods, such as longan and jujube; some people have insomnia and have an obvious feeling of wetness and greasiness in their bodies, so they can add some lotus seeds, Lily: If female friends have dysmenorrhea, they can remove the barley and boil some adzuki bean soup, add some ginger slices, jujubes, and brown sugar. Drink it to warm the lower abdomen and relieve pain. For joint pain, add some raw white peony root and raw licorice, which are sour and sweet, transform yin, nourish blood and eliminate paralysis.
People who are distracted by thoughts, overworked and do not exercise often often have no blood on their faces, are not energetic enough, and may even have palpitations, sleepiness, and feel as if their heads are heavy and their hearts are empty. This is a sign of dampness in the body and insufficient heart energy. You can add some longan to barley and adzuki bean soup and cook it together. Longan is sweet and warm, can appetize and strengthen the spleen, soothe the mind and nourish the blood, invigorate the heart yang, warm and nourish the heart qi, making people full of energy and full of qi. Moreover, the simple barley and adzuki bean soup tastes very ordinary. After adding longan, it becomes sweet. The light sweetness not only dispels the moisture in our body, but also brings vitality and warmth to our heart. Let’s call it barley, red bean and longan porridge. It is especially suitable for hard labor workers and also suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
Young people are prone to irritability and insomnia, or rashes and acne on their faces. This is caused by the internal disturbance of heart and lung fire and damp heat.

Lily can moisten the lungs, nourish the skin, clear the heart and calm the mind. Lotus root can best nourish the heart and clear the heart fire, and at the same time, it can strengthen the spleen and kidneys. Of course, if you feel that the soup has no taste, you can also add some rock sugar.
