We all know that mung bean has the function of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat in hot summer, but in fact, few people pay attention to or attach importance to its detoxification function. So if you want to clear away heat and relieve summer heat, you can drink cool mung bean soup, but what should you do if you want to diuretic and detoxify?

In fact, if you want to achieve the purpose of detoxification by eating mung beans, it is best to take Chinese medicine together, which can complement each other and get twice the result with half the effort. The detoxification function of mung bean is because it contains mung bean protein, flavonoids and tannins, which can reduce or lose the toxicity of toxic substances, but it is not easily absorbed by our stomach, so it should be taken together with traditional Chinese medicine to increase the curative effect.

In fact, mung bean soup not only clears away heat and relieves summer heat, but also has the effect of detoxification and diuresis. Usually, if you just want to clear away heat and relieve summer heat, you only need to wash out mung beans and cook them with strong fire for about 10 minutes to achieve the effect of relieving summer heat, but if you want to achieve the effect of detoxification, this will not work.

In order to achieve the effect of detoxification and diuresis, mung beans must be cooked thoroughly, and such mung bean soup will have excellent detoxification effect. Of course, in order to further enhance its detoxification effect, it is best to add a small amount of licorice to cook together. Of course, the mung bean soup cooked in this way is turbid in color, and the effect of cooling off summer heat is relatively poor. You can't have it both ways, can you?

This method was recommended by Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in ancient China. It is said that the mung bean soup made in this way has the effect of relieving various poisons. Maybe Shennong used this method to detoxify when he tasted a hundred herbs.
