Regarding the "reducing swelling" effect of barley and chixiaodou, we must not think that swelling is edema, including bloated body. According to Chinese medicine, whether obesity or edema, it means that there is moisture in the body, and the water cannot flow with the blood and stay in the body cells, causing the body to expand rapidly. This is true of edema, and so is obesity, but the degree is only different. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidifying properties can get rid of the water and liquid that stays in the body, and can also reduce swelling. Therefore, Chixiaodou must be used to treat edema, and practice has proved that barley chixiaodou porridge has a good weight-loss effect, which can lose weight without harming the body. Especially for middle-aged and elderly obesity, the effect is particularly good.

In addition, the rice must not be enlarged in Chixiaodou and Barley Congee, because the rice grows in water, contains moisture, and is moist and sticky, so the rice becomes thick as soon as it is boiled. Chixiaodou and barley are both dehumidifying and do not contain moisture themselves, so they are not thick anyhow, and the soup is very clear. Traditional Chinese medicine takes advantage of its clear nature to get rid of the dampness of the human body. Once the rice is added, moisture is added, so the whole porridge is thick. Although the taste is better, it is not a good thing for health preservation. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and barley are in vain, with no effect.
