There is moisture in the body. I heard that eating barley and red bean porridge can remove dampness and strengthen the spleen. Barley is divided into different sizes. I don’t know which one is more suitable. If you eat it, is it better to eat it at night or in the morning?

The small size of barley is more powerful and can be eaten in the morning and evening. But looking at your tongue coating, it's not damp and hot, but cold and damp. Eating barley can remove dampness, but for cold dampness, it will make your spleen and stomach more weak and cold. If the spleen and stomach are deficient and cold, the ability of transportation and transformation is poor, and it is easier to produce dampness. Moreover, if you eat barley when your body is cold, it will damage the kidneys if the diarrhea is severe.

So it is recommended that you eat more foods that can warm and nourish dampness. Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid is actually very suitable for you to drink now. Drink a few a day and you will be fine soon. Mutton soup is also suitable for you.

There is another thing called Atractylodes macrocephala. You can buy it from a local food store and soak it in water to drink. This is a dehumidifier and is suitable for you. In daily life, you don’t need to deliberately drink less water, because your body type generally won’t feel very thirsty, just let nature take its course. However, don’t eat cold and greasy foods, and eat less sweets. Eat more whole grains. It is not good to eat too much vegetables when they are too cold. Just nourish the spleen first, and it will get better naturally. If you have a spleen deficiency, you should also be careful not to eat too much. Sitting down after eating will also hurt the spleen. Walk more and sweat a little, which will make you feel better soon
