On rainy days, it is very important to get rid of dampness. Mianyinchen can be used to make soup. Mianyinchen is also called Yinchen and its scientific name is Yinchen Artemisia. It is mainly used for rheumatism, cold and heat. Recently, it has been rainy, and many people feel that their mouths are bitter and easy to fatigue, and they are very unaccustomed to such sultry weather and are at a loss for food. Traditional Chinese medicine recommends that in the rainy and humid days, the health maintenance should be based on removing dampness, and eating "bitter" appropriately is good for the body and mind.
