If one is not allergic to lotus seeds, people with dampness can eat lotus seeds appropriately, which can be helpful in getting rid of dampness. According to Chinese medicine, lotus seeds are flat, sweet and astringent, and have various effects such as tonifying the spleen, nourishing the heart and tranquilizing the mind, tonifying the kidneys and benefiting the essence. The spleen and stomach have the function of transporting water and fluids, and a decrease in spleen and stomach function can cause heavy dampness, so for dampness caused by spleen and stomach dysfunction, it can be relieved by eating lotus seeds. People with decreased spleen and stomach function may have symptoms such as abdominal distension, lethargy, loss of appetite, depression, swelling, thin white tongue coating, loose stools, etc. People who have these symptoms and are diagnosed by doctors as having a weak spleen and stomach and heavy dampness can alleviate their symptoms by eating lotus seeds in moderation, but eating lotus seeds alone does not achieve the purpose of getting rid of dampness, but also requires a combination of diet, exercise and medication to regulate it. Lotus seeds should not be consumed too much, otherwise it may lead to the appearance of the spleen and stomach cold. People with dry stools, gastrointestinal stagnation, and allergies to lotus seeds should also not consume lotus seeds, as it may trigger or aggravate related symptoms. In addition to consuming lotus seeds, people with dampness in their bodies can also consume barley, poria, Huai Shan and other foods and meals according to the specific situation, combined with professional doctors’ guidance, and properly combined with physical exercise, such as jogging, yoga, etc., to help speed up blood circulation, promote metabolism, enhance physical fitness, thus playing a role in eliminating dampness.
