As the old saying goes: a thousand colds are easy to remove, and a wet is difficult to get rid of. Chinese medicine believes that moisture can cause and worsen many diseases, and it is also the root cause of many chronic diseases.
Regarding the matter of dampness, many people know that using red bean barley porridge can get rid of dampness! But the wrong approach can make the problem worse.
Why drink so much red bean barley porridge, the humidity is still so heavy?

Red beans can cure hunger, can not be water to get wet, eat too much will be septic. Red adzuki beans are beneficial to the effect of water to dispel dampness.
Wake-up: Chinese medicine uses red adzuki beans, and red beans are only for general consumption. The effect of the two is completely different, red bean coix porridge with the right red adzuki bean, in order to play a healthy spleen and damp effect.
Mistake two: Barley, wrong
Barley can get rid of dampness, but its cold is too heavy, if it is directly boiled will hurt the spleen, it is recommended to fry barley to reduce its coldness.
Mistake three: The cooking method is wrong
Red adzuki beans, barley kernels are difficult to cook, it is best to soak in hot water for an hour and then cook, otherwise nutrition is difficult to come out, but many people often cook directly.
Mistake four: only get rid of dampness and do not strengthen the spleen
Moisture is caused by spleen deficiency, and moisture will aggravate spleen deficiency, so it is correct to strengthen the spleen + remove dampness together.
We have an organ in our body called the spleen, what role does the spleen play in our body?
It is responsible for transporting the body's water vapor to various places, such as transporting it to the kidneys, which can be excreted through urination, transported to the pores, and can be excreted through sweating.
The spleen likes to be dry the most, does not like to be wet, so if there is too much moisture in the body, the spleen needs to work non-stop, it will be tired for a long time, it will hurt, the spleen is injured, that is, we often say that the spleen is weak, the spleen is weak, the ability to transport water vapor is reduced, the water vapor is accumulated in the body, can not go out, the natural moisture is heavier.
Therefore, if you want to get rid of dampness, you must remove dampness and strengthen your spleen, and it is useful to carry it out at the same time.
