      Moisture invading the body is a very difficult thing to detect disease , to be precise, it is a hidden disease before the disease breaks out. It is often not taken seriously, especially in places with a relatively humid climate in the south. Many people will have symptoms of excessive moisture. Today I will teach you two ways to eat barley, which can effectively remove moisture.

      Barley enters the spleen and can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness. Depending on the nature and flavor of the medicinal materials, the dampness-removing medicines in traditional Chinese medicine are either pungent and warming, or sweet, light and expelling. Spicy and warm, such as tangerine peel, can remove dampness and resolve phlegm, just like setting up a fire to dry water. This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the moisture can be removed quickly. The disadvantage is that if the "fire" is too big, it is very likely to dry out the pot.

      Barley is sweet and light in taste, and its penetration is beneficial to water and dampness, draining water away like dredging water channels. It is generally cold and cool, and most of the drugs used as fruits, seeds and heavy substances are sedimentation drugs, and sedimentation can penetrate and benefit. Barley is cool in nature and settles, and is a commonly used medicine for diuresis and dampness.

      Just as it is said in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Coix has a sweet and bland taste, a slightly cool qi, a slightly hypoactive nature, and is exudative, so it can remove dampness and diuresis. ”Compared with drying out dampness, barley is characterized by being hygroscopic and safe. The most important thing is that dampness evil manifests itself in different ways, and the methods to deal with them are also different, but barley is more widely used in removing dampness and dehumidification.

      The best way to remove dampness with barley is to soak fried barley in water or boil it in soup. To stir-fry barley, take clean barley and stir-fry it over a slow fire until it is slightly yellow and swollen. Take it out and let it cool until it becomes slightly burnt and slightly fragrant. Another method of brewing traditional Chinese medicine is to stir-fry the medicine with wheat bran, that is, bran-fried barley. After the pot is hot, first sprinkle wheat bran, the amount is one-tenth of the barley. When it is heated to smoke, add the clean barley, fry until the surface turns yellow and swells, take it out, sift out the wheat bran and let it cool, and it will have a slight aroma.

      Briefly describe this scent. According to the different degree of frying of traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally divided into frying the medicine to yellow, frying to char, and frying to charcoal. Stir-frying means stir-frying over slow fire until the medicinal materials take on their inherent aroma or swell or burst. Stir-fried yellow can alleviate the excessive nature of the medicine, and at the same time, the aroma it emits also has the effect of regulating qi and relieving depression.
