912: Removing Moisture

Removing Moisture

My advice is that it's best not to. Although this one combines the effects of two types of prescriptions, medicinal cuisine is different from ordinary food. Rice can be eaten indiscriminately, but medicine can't."2

"The friend in the audience who asked this question, you can check your parents' physical condition before you buy them. You can fix the problem. If you have both questions, you can stew this directly, but if it's just one of them, it's best to separate. Don't try to save yourself the trouble. It's a mess. Too much is as bad as too little."

When some people heard Su Yayan say this, they realized that they were taking things for granted.

The medicinal cuisine in Su Yayan's livestream was quite delicious, so many people directly treated the medicinal cuisine as food and not medicine.

They felt that no matter how much they ate, it would be beneficial to their bodies. This was also what Su Yayan was most worried about.

Now that Su Yayan had spoken to them in advance, everyone calmed down and understood the logic behind this. They did not dwell on it.

Su Yayan glanced at the time at the top of the screen. "Alright, we still have to do the barbecue later. Let's hurry up and introduce the last medicinal packet of the day—Four Gods Soup. The main components of the Four Gods Soup are Poria, Huai Mountain, lotus seeds, and Gorgon. These four medicinal herbs have the effect of removing moisture, so the Four Gods Soup is also known as a good method to remove moisture."

"Previously, I've made cinnamon pork belly soup in the livestream broadcast with quinoa rice added to it. Quinoa also has the effect of removing moisture, so what does this moisture that eliminates moisture refer to? There are actually two types of moisture mentioned here. They're called internal and external moisture. As the name implies, it's the moisture produced inside your body and outside your body."

"External moisture is usually related to living conditions. The climate is wet and cold. If you stay in places with damp air for too long, it's very easy for the moisture to enter your body over time. Some people get rheumatic as they get older. If it's internal moisture, it's related to your daily routine. You stay up late, get cold, and like to stay at home. People who don't like to exercise have weaker spleen and stomach, so it's easy to produce moisture."

"People who have a messy schedule, like taking cold food and don't like to take care of themselves, and happen to live in dark and humid places. When the internal and external moisture acts up together, it will cause them to be dispirited, have a poor appetite, and feel sleepy. Sometimes, their skin will even have layers of rashes and itch."

Su Yayan's explanation stunned many people, and many people directly took it to heart.

[Every spring and autumn, I have a particularly long rainy season. It's wet everywhere, and the walls of my room produce water on their own. I'm also lazy, sleepy, and have no appetite. I always thought it was because of the change in the seasons. So it has something to do with this moisture?]

[A rash? It's the kind of rash where a large area is covered in red spots. It looks scary, but when it wears off, it'll be back to normal. I thought it was because the seasons were changing, but it's not, is it?]

[How will this be treated? Will there be any problems with the body after a while?]

Su Yayan looked at the comments flying across the screen and explained patiently, "If the moisture is light, it will cause some physical discomfort. If you don't treat it, it will cause the symptoms to worsen and cause some complications. The best treatment is to stay up late, exercise more, and eat more healthy food. For example, the Four Gods Soup, or porridge…"

As Su Yayan spoke, she boiled the pork tripe that she had prepared earlier in the water. When it became hard, she scooped it out and cut it into strips. Then, she placed it into the casserole along with the other herbs.
