How many people are suffering from summer heat and humidity in the hot summer days?

I finally look forward to autumn, and the temperature finally shows a little sign of letting go of human beings.

In this increasingly suitable weather for growing meat, the body naturally begins to become able to eat and sleep. And the sleep delayed by high temperature in summer also has the trend of retaliatory compensation. How many people have started the mode of not getting enough sleep for 12 hours a day? Do all kinds of eating and eating also make the tongue coating thicker?

Did the following situations also find you?

1. The spleen and stomach are not transported, and I always feel bloated after eating;

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

3. The small belly seems to be thick again;

4. The face is greasy, the hair is greasy, the skin is greasy, and acne occurs;

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 diarrhea;

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

9. Seasonal eczema;

10. I always have phlegm in the morning and a heavy breath.

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

I believe I don't need to say that everyone has guessed it, and it is wet again.

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

Drink red bean and barley tea when it is wet.

Is it really good?

In fact, drinking red beans and coix seed 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 food, and its main function is to clear away heat and detoxify.

The other is a long oval, called adzuki bean, which is recorded in the Pharmacopoeia and can be used as medicine. Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica says that it "smells sweet and sour, is non-toxic, has edema under the main body, and discharges carbuncle, swelling, pus and blood."

Li Shizhen recorded these two kinds of red beans: "This bean is used as medicine for those who are small and red, and those who are slightly larger, bright red and reddish are not treated." Among them, the "small and reddish" is adzuki bean, and the "slightly larger and bright red and reddish" is adzuki bean (red bean).

Sun Simiao said adzuki bean in "Prepare for a Urgent Need": "Sweet, salty, flat and cold, non-toxic. Lower edema, pus and blood discharge. It can't be served for a long time, it's boring. " Although adzuki bean can help the body's dampness go down, it will be excreted from the urine. It is beneficial to spleen deficiency and dampness, water swelling, heavy limb sleepiness 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, dampness absorption, heat clearing and pus discharge.

It is classified into diuretics, which have a very strong effect and can make the body strongly discharge moisture. Where is the energy used to remove dampness? The answer is the body's own qi and blood. Excessive use of qi and blood to accomplish a certain goal is called "breaking blood and consuming gas".

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

At first, the girl just had a little sticky stool, and she knew that it was wet. Seeing the overwhelming advertisements for red bean and 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 persisted for more than ten days.

Ten days later, the sticky stool appeared again. What should I do? The girl thought, it may be that the body's tolerance has increased, so she should stop drinking more and strengthen the effect. The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and after ten days, the girl's stool was not sticky, but changed to 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, the body excretes wet poison. After ten or twenty days of persistence, my stomach began to feel uncomfortable one day, and my appetite suddenly dropped. When I ate raw cold, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, even painful. By this time, the girl still used red bean and barley tea to get rid of the dampness, until she drank red bean and barley tea before a menstrual period and began to have dysmenorrhea. I just remembered to go to the doctor and ask why.

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

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

How to correctly "eliminate dampness"?

If we say "wet", it's like a pit on the ground with water in it. Simply removing dampness is to clean up the water in the pit. After cleaning once, will the pit always be clean? Of course not, as long as the source of water in the pit is still there, the pit will keep accumulating water, so dealing with the source can solve the problem fundamentally.

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

It is necessary to find the spleen, the main manager in charge of transportation and chemistry.

We often talk about "spleen deficiency and wet sleepiness". Obviously, spleen deficiency and wet sleepiness are really like a pair of he is my brother, so we have to ask, is the function of spleen still good? Usually it is spleen deficiency first, and the transport function of water and liquid becomes worse, and then it is wet and sleepy.

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 tired. I wish I could go on strike from time to time. The water that the spleen doesn't have time to treat can't go where it should go, but it stagnates where it doesn't need to be, and it becomes a 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 let the spleen have sufficient motivation, work hard and metabolize unnecessary water.

Gently tonify spleen and eliminate dampness.

Try sishen decoction

Here, we will recommend a classic Chinese medicine recipe for invigorating the spleen-Sishen Decoction, which is suitable for all ages.

It combines Poria cocos, Euryale euryales, lotus seeds and Dioscorea opposita with the ratio of1:1:kloc-0/:1.

Lotus seeds are the first to nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, yam is the longest to tonify deficiency, Poria is the longest to remove dampness, and Euryale ferox is the best to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.

In Sishen Decoction, there are not only Poria cocos to eliminate dampness, but also Euryale ferox to transform moisture into body fluid, and there are yam lotus seeds to tonify deficiency, which can calm water and achieve the effect of calming the nerves, so that moisture is no longer harmful, thus conditioning the body as a whole and achieving health.

Moreover, the four ingredients with the same origin of medicine and food in Sishen Decoction are very peaceful and effective, and there is no cold or hot bias when removing dampness, so you can use them whether you are damp 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 * * * characteristic, which is to tonify the spleen. Among them, raw coix seed is cool, so you can fry it here until the skin is slightly brown, and it smells a faint burnt fragrance. After frying, the coix seed is much milder and has the effect of invigorating the spleen, because the burnt fragrance enters the spleen. Of course, if your damp heat is heavy, you can also use raw coix seed, which is best at clearing damp heat. In other words, Sishen Decoction can be used no matter whether you are cold or damp, and it tastes good. It is both a recipe and a prescription, and medicine and food are of the same origin. 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!
