What kind of tea is good for people with dampness in the body?

China is the home of tea, and there are dozens of varieties of tea. If you are not a true tea lover, you may never be able to taste so many types of tea in your lifetime. The reason why tea is so popular all over the world is not only because it tastes very sweet, but more importantly, drinking tea can also play a role in health preservation. In life, friends who have too much moisture in their bodies can try to drink tea to regulate it. So what kind of tea is good for people with too much moisture in their bodies?

The best tea for removing moisture is coix seed tea, followed by green tea. Because green tea is not fermented, which means it has not undergone oxidation, it retains the original flavor of the fresh leaves to the greatest extent, and almost all of the caffeine, tea polyphenols and other ingredients in the tea are retained. Therefore, people with heavy moisture may wish to drink more green tea. Green teas such as Dongting Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, and Huangshan Maofeng are all delicious.

However, green tea is cold in nature, so it is not suitable to drink too much or for a long time. Once your physical condition improves, you should choose to drink coix seed tea. I especially recommend Yishutang Coix Seed Tea, which contains coix seed, red bean, and water chestnut. People with heavy moisture often have spleen deficiency. Coix seed and red bean can remove moisture, and water chestnut can strengthen the spleen. Strengthening the spleen and removing moisture at the same time will have better results.

Job's tears tea is sweet, mild and slightly cold in nature, and has the effects of diuresis and swelling, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, relaxing muscles and removing numbness, clearing away heat and discharging pus. It is best to brew about 3g of tea one hour after a meal, and let the tea fragrance spread around while enjoying the leisurely time after the meal.

If you have too much moisture in your body, you can drink more porridge. In addition, I recommend another type of porridge. Add 150g of japonica rice, 20g of coix seed (called six millets or native corn in some places, available in Chinese medicine stores), 20g of red bean, 15g of wax gourd peel, 15g of white lentil, and 1g of white cardamom, add appropriate amount of water and cook into porridge, which can also clear away heat and dampness, strengthen the stomach and eliminate water.

Therefore, friends with heavy dampness should not ignore this pathological condition. Drink tea according to the methods shown in this article and improve eating habits, and they will gradually get better.
