Generally mung bean antidote means that mung bean has the effect of reducing the effectiveness of the medicine, but this statement is not entirely correct. From the Chinese medicine point of view, because the mung bean itself is a Chinese medicine, has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, and is cold in nature, so for the warm tonic dispersing cold Chinese medicine, will have a certain antidote effect. But from a western medical point of view, mung beans do not have a significant effect on the effectiveness of the medicine. The common warming and dispersing cold herbs include ginseng, astragalus, cinnamon, aconite, clove, galangal, cinnamon stick and pungent, etc. When taken at the same time as mung beans, the tonic effect of these herbs may be reduced, so they should be avoided on a daily basis. In addition, mung beans are also involved in the application of Chinese medicine to detoxify the pungent heat of foods such as croton and arsenicum. However, people with weak spleen and stomach and cold constitution are not recommended to consume large amounts of mung beans, and the cold nature of mung beans may aggravate the adverse symptoms of such people. And Western medicine and Chinese medicine theory is relatively independent, so for Western medicine, mung beans are only an ingredient with protein, fat, sugar, vitamin A, niacin, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, commonly used in life as a staple food to supplement nutrition. Moreover, the protein and tannic acid in mung beans generally only react with organic phosphorus and heavy metals, thus forming precipitates. Western medicine rarely contains these substances, so mung beans on western medicine basically does not produce obvious antidote, moderate consumption is also conducive to health, but also occasionally instead of refined rice, refined flour, etc. as a staple food to eat.
