How to remove moisture during breastfeeding?

There are many reasons that can cause moisture in the human body. The most common one is the weather factor. Especially in the south, many areas are very humid. People who often live in a humid and cold environment are most likely to have moisture in the body. In addition, there are dietary factors, etc. Excessive moisture in the human body is very harmful and will cause many discomfort symptoms. So if you are breastfeeding, what methods should be used to help remove moisture?

How to remove moisture during breastfeeding?

The saying that moisture is heavy is always the same. During the breastfeeding period, in addition to eating high-protein foods, you should avoid eating raw, cold, and hard foods. At the same time, you should exercise, nourish your body, sweat and detoxify. This will make it easier for moisture to be discharged from the body and your body will be healthy.

Food therapy can be used to treat heavy moisture during lactation. It is not recommended to drink more water when taking medicine, or boil coix seed and winter melon soup.

The method to remove moisture from the body is very simple and only requires two "medicines". These two medicines can be drunk as tea, eaten as meals, and can solve big problems. One is coix seed and the other is red bean. There is no need to follow any specific ratio for these two ingredients. Just grab a handful each time, wash them clean, put them in a pot, add water and boil them. After boiling, you will get barley and red bean porridge, a great product for removing dampness and strengthening the spleen.

One advantage of barley and red bean porridge is that it will not become sticky and thick no matter how long it is cooked. There will always be cooked red beans and barley at the bottom, and a light red soup on top. Most of the effective ingredients of barley and red beans are in the soup. When cooking porridge, add more water. The soup will be enough for half a day and can be used as tea.

As for the efficacy, it is truly extraordinary. Job's tears, called "Coix seed" in traditional Chinese medicine, is listed as a top-grade medicine in "Shennong's Herbal Classic". It can cure dampness and arthritis, benefit the intestines and stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and long-term use can make the body lighter and benefit the qi. Red beans, called "adzuki beans" in traditional Chinese medicine, also have obvious diuretic, anti-edema, and spleen and stomach strengthening effects. Because it is red, and red enters the heart, it can also nourish the heart. Modern people are under great mental stress, have weak heart qi, have irregular diets, little exercise, and suffer from spleen deficiency and dampness. If you want to remove dampness, nourish the heart, and strengthen the spleen and stomach, then the best choice is coix seed and red beans. Boiling it into porridge is intended to allow its effective ingredients to be fully absorbed by the human body without causing any burden to the spleen and stomach.

The "de-swelling" effect of coix seed and red beans is also very interesting. Don't ever think that swelling is edema. Look at people today, at least five or six out of ten are overweight, which is also swelling, called obesity. In traditional Chinese medicine, obesity or edema both mean that there is dampness in the body. The water cannot flow with the blood and qi, and instead remains between human cells, causing the body to swell rapidly. The same is true for edema and obesity, except that the degree varies. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidifying properties can remove the water retained in the human body and reduce swelling.
