Chinese medicine is precisely the use of this clear nature, to get rid of the body's moisture, once you add in rice, it is the same as adding in moisture, so the whole porridge is thick. Although the flavor may be better, but for health is not a good thing, because of that a handful of rice, all the red beans, barley are wasted, the efficacy of all.
