In two days, we will enter the summer solar term in 24 solar terms, and summer belongs to the fifth solar term. "Summer" stands for heat, which means slight heat. Summer is hotter than the previous solar terms, but not very hot. The summer heat is a long summer, and the summer heat is also heavy. At this time, diet and health care should pay attention to clearing away heat, relieving summer heat and eliminating dampness.

My family often uses chicken soup from Abrus cantoniensis in summer, which has the effect of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis. Often stay up late or eat fried or fried food, and cook some chicken bone soup when you get angry, so the whole family can drink it. Abrus cantonensis is one of the medicinal materials that Guangdong people like to use to make soup. Has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, invigorating stomach and strengthening spleen. People who don't understand think it's a root, and worry that the boiled soup is bitter and unpalatable. In fact, Abrus cantoniensis has a unique medicinal aroma, which can be blended with meat and other ingredients. Use Abrus cantoniensis as soup, and add two ingredients, red beans and barley, to get rid of dampness better, and then add candied dates.
