Xiao Chen obviously feels bad in the summer and often feels sleepy. When he wakes up every day, he always feels like his head is wrapped in a quilt. There is no taste in eating, and there is often a peculiar smell in his mouth. I went to the hospital for an examination and found no obvious abnormalities, but I was diagnosed with heavy moisture in my body.
I know that people around me are very moist. I heard that drinking some red bean and barley water can solve this problem, so I bought red bean and barley water and drank it for a while. However, the moisture in my body is still so heavy. Drinking the red bean and barley water did not expel moisture from the body. On the contrary, other problems such as oral ulcers, loose stools, stomachache etc. appeared.

For example, barley is indeed a very good dehumidifier, but its nature is biased toward coldness. Similarly, red bean is a food with relatively mild properties. If the two are used together, then this red bean barley Water is a cooling medicine. After long-term use, although the moisture in the body can be temporarily discharged in the early stage, it is a cooling food after all. Over time, it may damage the body's spleen and stomach. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach of the human body are most afraid of cold. Once damaged, the body's spleen and stomach will be damaged. There will be problems with the dehumidification mechanism. At this time, the red bean and barley water is not dehumidifying, but digging holes in your spleen and stomach. If this person has a bad spleen and stomach and a cold body constitution, then the red bean and barley water will not only fail to remove dampness for this person, but will further damage the spleen and stomach.
