The spleen dampness needs to be relieved in summer health maintenance. The spleen belongs to the soil in the five elements, and is in the same shape as the stomach. The spleen governs the pattern. A person's bad spleen and stomach not only affects eating, but also affects a person's personality. In the scorching summer, my appetite is reduced and my heart is strong. At this time, I want to eat more raw and cold food, so my spleen dampness comes.
Today’s recommended four ingredients: red bean, barley, lotus leaf, and yam. These four are cooked into porridge. For the taste, I made it into juice. My family can accept this taste, so I don’t add any sugar and drink it often. Put on a bowl to dispel dampness and nourish the spleen. Chixiaodou and barley have very damp-removing effects. The lotus leaf clears away heat and yam replenishes the vital energy. It is a great ingredient for nourishing the spleen and stomach. Chixiaodou is a kind of food material with strong damp-removing effect and medicinal value. Don't eat it if you don't have the symptoms of dampness and heat. You can replace chixiaodou with red beans when making it.

Ingredients

60g Chixiaodou
40g Barley
300g Yam
1 Lotus Leaf
1500g Water

Qushi Detox Siwu Soup

1. Prepare the raw materials.

2. Wash the lotus leaves.

3. The yam is cleaned, peeled and cut into small pieces. (If your hands are itchy when the yam is peeled, stretch your hands over the fire and bake them. The heat will decompose the saponins that cause itchy hands)

4. After soaking chixiaodou and barley for a while, pour them into the pot with lotus leaves, yam, and water. (I use a pressure cooker, so it doesn’t need to be soaked for a long time. If you use an ordinary pot, it’s recommended to soak for about ten hours)

5. Adjust to the eight-treasure porridge and cook.

6. Do not remove the lotus leaves, pour all the ingredients into the cooking machine barrel and make a juice.

7. Finished product

Tips:
Chixiaodou must be cooked, otherwise it is slightly poisonous. The general population who eats it often will replace Chixiaodou with red beans to make it, because Chixiaodou should not be eaten often.
The juice is made for a better taste.
