One day I went to send my daughter to college. I sat in the car and scratched my body from time to time. Sitting on the opposite side of a middle-aged man, he looked at my frequent movements, asked: "You are not skin itchy ah I nodded. He said: "I used to suffer from itchy skin, every ten minutes or so. Later on, I ate a recipe introduced by a friend, and I was cured. This friend is a senior pharmacist and has written many articles on medicinal diets. The man went on to say: "This recipe is called green beans and lotus root, the material is easy to buy, the production method is very simple. It is the soaked green beans into the cleaned lotus root holes, into the pot of water to cook, take out the slices in a bowl, scooped into the soup, you can eat, 2 times a day, the effect is very good.
I listened to the man's explanation, with a half-hearted question to see a doctor. The doctor said: "in the fall and winter, many people often appear itchy skin, symptoms manifested in dry skin, flaky, itching, to undress or night time is heavy, the site is mostly found in the inner thighs, calves flexion and joints around the place. Many people are accompanied by dizziness, blurred vision, panic, insomnia and other symptoms. The cause of itchy skin is mainly due to the skin by the cold and sebum secretion is reduced, so that the skin is dry; diet is too refined, lack of certain trace elements and vitamins, often addicted to food such as chili peppers, garlic, scallions, peppers, mustard, pickled products and other pungent, warm and hot food." "A friend introduced me to a green bean and lotus root soup, saying that it can cure itchy skin, is it true?" I inquired in a low voice. The doctor went on to say, "The treatment of itchy skin can generally take some anti-allergy drugs and sedative drugs, and external rubbing is generally used to stop itching, but often can not be completely cured. If you can start from the dietary aspects of prevention and control, with appropriate exercise and skin hygiene and other measures, itching can be relieved. The lotus root in the soup you mentioned has the effect of reducing inflammation, clearing heat and relieving dryness; mung bean is a cool food, which can play a role in dispelling evil spirits and removing toxins from the body. Both eaten together, with drugs to treat itchy skin can play a very good effect."
I did as I was told, and in addition to taking the medication prescribed by the doctor, I also drank green beans and lotus root soup 3 times a day. After drinking it for a few days in a row, the itchy skin has been all better.
