Hello everyone, I am Grandma Bai, and internal heat is the bane of many patients' diseases, such as psoriasis. Psoriasis, as a common chronic skin disease, has a complex pathogenesis, but TCM believes that the accumulation of internal heat is one of the important predisposing factors.
People with psoriasis often have erythema, scaly, and varying degrees of itching on their skin. The appearance of these symptoms is closely related to the internal heat state such as damp heat and blood heat in the body. When there is an imbalance of yin and yang in the human body,.
Internal heat is commonly manifested in traditional Chinese medicine. Long-term internal heat will not only affect the quality of a person's sleep, but also cause dry skin, itching, and even skin diseases such as psoriasis. Therefore, it is important to regulate internal heat in summer.
I would like to share a bowl of "little sweet soup" with you to help you better dissipate internal heat.
Ingredients: 100 grams of mung beans, 50 grams of lotus seeds, appropriate amount of rock sugar, appropriate amount of water
Mung bean: It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, diuresis and swelling, and is a good product for summer heat. The polysaccharides in mung beans can also enhance the body's immunity and fight diseases.
Lotus seed: It has the functions of tonifying the spleen and stopping diarrhea, benefiting the kidney and strengthening essence, nourishing the heart and soothing the nerves. A variety of nutrients in lotus seeds can regulate the acid-base balance in the human body and help relieve the symptoms of internal heat.
Rock sugar: It has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, and benefiting the stomach. The sweetness of rock sugar neutralizes the bitterness of mung beans and makes the sweet soup more delicious.

Patient's condition: red patches appeared on the skin in many parts of the body, covered with silvery-white scales, itching was unbearable, and he had been diagnosed with psoriasis by the dermatology department of Western medicine many times, but the treatment effect was not good, and the condition recurred.

Patients stay up late for a long time and work overtime, and the work pressure is high, resulting in the depletion of yin fluid in the body, blood deficiency and dryness, and skin dystrophy, thus causing psoriasis.
