When it comes to foods that remove dampness, different types of food have different effects in removing dampness. At present, when people use whole grains to remove dampness, they often choose the following three types.

Barley:

Job's tears are cool in nature, sweet and light in taste, and enter the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, promoting diuresis and eliminating dampness. In some areas in the south, there is a rainy season in the summer with a lot of rain. At this time, you can cook barley porridge to drive away the heat and dampness. Taboo: People who often suffer from constipation should not eat coix seed often.

green beans:

Mung beans are cool in nature, sweet in taste, and enter the heart and stomach meridians. Mung beans have the effects of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, clearing away heat and detoxifying. It is worth noting that people with weak spleen and stomach should not eat too much mung beans; secondly, when drinking mung bean porridge, it is best to eat it with the skin, so that the heat-clearing effect is best; finally, it is best not to add sugar when cooking mung bean porridge, otherwise it will reduce the effect of clearing heat and removing dampness.

Adzuki beans:

Red beans are sweet in taste and enter the heart and small intestine meridians. They have the effects of reducing swelling and detoxifying, promoting diuresis and removing dampness, and harmonizing blood and discharging pus. Although their heat-clearing effect is weaker than that of mung beans, their diuretic and dampness-removing effects are stronger. They can treat "ascites", that is, ascites caused by liver cirrhosis, and general edema. In daily life, red beans can be used as stuffing or to make porridge.
