Let’s get rid of summer heat with mung bean ₊ mentha canadensis, known as” bakha”tea

Mung bean has the effect of removing summer heat and humidity accumulated in the body.
It takes “Shouja=hot weather” and “Shitsuja=wicking”, is not it?
When “hot weather” enters the body, thirst and perspiration, urine volume decreases (the color becomes darker),
I get symptoms of body burning, insomnia, becoming angry and irritated.
When “wicking” comes into your body, You feel cold and dizzy, feeling your head weight, holding your chest, feeling anorexia and stomach,
Swelling and diarrhea, symptoms such as muscle pain and arthralgia appear.
I hate it.
In Japan, when the rainy season ends, a muggy summer will come,
This “hot weather” and “wicking” make it easier for symptoms not good for your body.
In such a case the recommended medicinal sauce ingredients are Mung bean.
This will cool the extra heat accumulated in your body and will drain the extra water accumulated in your body by moisture.
How nice! !
In China’s “The Compendium of Materia Medica “, “The effect of eliminating swelling and curing pox is similar to that of azuki beans,
Despitic power and detoxification power are not harmful even if we live on stronger than azuki beans. ” There are some evidences.
Even if you drink as tea, eat it! Good for you!
