On a hot summer day, how many people suffer from heat and humidity?

Finally, I look forward to autumn, and the temperature finally shows some signs of letting human beings go.

In this increasingly suitable weather for growing meat, the body naturally begins to become able to eat and sleep. And the high temperature delayed sleep in summer also has the trend of retaliatory compensation. How many people have started the mode of lack of sleep for one day 12 hours? Do various eating methods and eating methods also make the tongue coating thicker?

Did the following situations also find you?

1. The spleen and stomach are not transported, and the stomach cavity always feels bloated after meals;

2. I want to lie flat after eating, and washing dishes is really tired;

3. The small belly seems to be thick again;

4. greasy face, greasy hair, greasy skin and acne;

5. Not fat, but swollen, especially in the afternoon;

6. The spleen and stomach have no strength, people don't want to eat, and they have no strength;

7. The stool sticks to the toilet and sometimes has diarrhea;

8. I am always sleepy, I can't wake up in the morning, I don't have enough sleep, and I want to sleep in a cage;

9. Seasonal eczema;

10. There is always phlegm in the morning and I breathe heavily.

At this time, we look at our tongue coating in the mirror, which may be like this.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you, as you can guess, it's wet again.

Speaking of wet weight, you may subconsciously think: drink some red bean barley tea.

Drink red bean barley tea when wet.

Is it really good?

In fact, drinking red beans and barley often can get rid of dampness, which can be listed as one of the top ten false rumors in recent years.

Why do you say that?

Let's talk about red beans and barley first

There are two kinds of red beans in the market, one is round, which is a kind of food, and its main function is to clear away heat and detoxify.

The other is long oval, called adzuki bean, which is recorded in the Pharmacopoeia and can be used as medicine. Shennong's materia medica scripture says, "It is sweet and sour, nontoxic, with edema in the lower abdomen and abscess and pus."

Li Shizhen recorded these two kinds of red beans: "This bean is used as medicine for those who are small and red, but it will die for those who are slightly larger and bright red and reddish." Among them, "small and reddish" is adzuki bean, and "slightly larger and bright red and reddish" is adzuki bean (red bean).

Sun Simiao said adzuki bean in "For Emergency Use": "Sweet and salty, flat and cold, non-toxic. Reduce edema and purulent blood discharge. It can't be served for a long time, it's boring. " Although adzuki bean can help the body to get rid of moisture, it will be excreted from urine. It is beneficial to spleen deficiency and dampness, water swelling, heavy limb lethargy and other symptoms, but it cannot be taken for a long time.

Job's tears, on the other hand, are very unfriendly to non-damp heat constitution people.

Coix seed, sweet and light in nature, slightly cold. Diuresis, moisture absorption, heat clearing and pus discharge.

It is classified as a diuretic, which is very powerful and can make the body strongly excrete water. Where is the energy of eliminating dampness used? The answer is the body's own qi and blood. Excessive use of qi and blood to achieve a certain goal is called "breaking blood and consuming gas".

A Chinese medicine friend of mine has a sick girl who used to drink red bean barley tea until she saw a doctor.

At first, the girl just had a sticky stool, and she knew it was wet. Seeing the overwhelming advertisements for red bean barley tea, she decided to try the effect. After drinking for a few days, the stool is much fresher. In order to consolidate the effect, it lasted for more than ten days.

Ten days later, the sticky stool appeared again. What should I do? The girl thinks that it may be that the body's tolerance has improved, so it is necessary to give up drinking more and strengthen the effect. The operation was as fierce as a tiger. After ten days, the girl's stool stopped sticking and became loose stool, and the number of times she went to the toilet increased from one to two or three times.

The optimistic girl thought, this is good, and the body excretes wet poison. After ten or twenty days of persistence, one day my stomach began to feel uncomfortable and my appetite suddenly dropped. When I eat raw cold, my stomach is very uncomfortable and even painful. At this time, the girl still used red bean barley tea to get rid of dampness until she drank red bean barley tea before her first menstruation and began to have dysmenorrhea. I just remembered to see a doctor and ask why.

So can drinking red bean barley tea get rid of dampness?

The answer is yes, but only for damp heat constitution. Coix seed is slightly cold, and damp heat constitution can drink it. But what if it is cold and wet? Of course, the more you drink, the colder your body will be. Just like that girl up there.

How to "eliminate dampness" correctly?

If we say "wet", it is like a pit on the ground with water in it. Simple dehumidification is to clean up the water in the pit. Will the pit always be clean after cleaning once? Of course not, as long as the water in the pit is still there, there will be water in the pit, so the problem can be solved fundamentally by dealing with the source.

The function of red bean and barley water can only clean up the water in the pit, so what can be used to solve the problem from the source?

Find the main spleen in charge of transportation and transformation.

We often say "spleen deficiency and dampness". Obviously, spleen deficiency and dampness are really like a pair. He is my brother, so we have to ask, is the function of spleen okay? Usually, spleen deficiency first, water and liquid transport function becomes worse, and then wet sleep.

For example, when the spleen function is normal, it is easy to transport 1000ml of water every day. But I have spleen deficiency, and now I transport 500ml of water every day, and I am still very tired. I wish I could go on strike from time to time. The water that the spleen has no time to treat can't go where it should go, but it stays where it doesn't need, and becomes the waste water that we all hate-"wet".

Wet weight is the standard, and spleen deficiency is the foundation. Therefore, to solve the problem of "dampness" from the source, it is necessary to make the spleen have sufficient motivation, work hard and metabolize unnecessary water.

Gentle spleen and dampness.

Try Shen Si soup.

Here, I would like to recommend a classic Chinese medicine formula for invigorating the spleen-Shen Si Decoction, which is suitable for all ages.

It is composed of Poria cocos, Euryale euryales seeds, lotus seeds and Chinese yam in a ratio of1:1:1:1.

Lotus seeds nourish the heart and soothe the nerves first, yam supplements the deficiency for the longest time, Poria cocos removes dampness for the longest time, and Euryale ferox strengthens the spleen and removes dampness for the best.

In Shen Si Soup, not only Poria cocos is used to remove dampness, but also Euryale Euryale ferox is used to convert moisture into body fluid, and Chinese yam and lotus seeds are used to tonify deficiency, which can calm the nerves and make the moisture no longer harmful, thus conditioning the body as a whole and achieving the purpose of health preservation.

Moreover, the four ingredients of Shen Si Decoction, which are homologous to Chinese medicine and food, are very peaceful and effective, and there is no difference between cold and heat when removing dampness, so you can use them whether you are wet or cold.

Accumulated food, children who don't like to eat can drink it; People with weak spleen and stomach and indigestion can also drink it.

These four ingredients also have a common feature, that is, strengthening the spleen. Among them, the raw coix seed is cool, and it can be fried here until the epidermis is slightly brown, and it smells slightly burnt. The fried coix seed is much milder and has the function of strengthening the spleen, because the burnt fragrance enters the spleen. Of course, if you are damp and hot, you can also use raw coix seed, which is best at clearing damp and hot. In other words, whether you are cold or wet, Shen Si soup can be used, and it tastes good. It is both a prescription and a prescription, and medicine and food are homologous. Drink this soup, it is best to eat the cooked yam, lotus seeds, poria cocos and coix seed together, and the effect is the best!
