Can I drink mung bean soup if I have itchy red bumps on my body?

Generally speaking, drinking mung bean soup is acceptable when experiencing itchy red bumps on the body, but excessive consumption is not recommended. Detailed explanation is as follows:

If the itchy red bumps on the body are caused by external wind-heat, internal damp-heat, or contact with allergens,适量 consumption of mung bean soup may help alleviate discomfort. Mung beans have a cooling nature and are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. They have the effects of clearing heat, relieving summerheat, promoting diuresis, and detoxification, which can help eliminate heat and toxins from the body and reduce redness, swelling, and itching of the skin caused by excessive heat or dampness. A small amount of rock sugar can be added to mung bean soup to improve taste, providing a refreshing sweetness and helping replenish fluids and promote metabolism. When consuming, ensure the temperature is appropriate to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort caused by excessive coldness.

Control the quantity when drinking mung bean soup; one bowl each time is sufficient to avoid excessive intake that may lead to abdominal distension and diarrhea. Those with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold should consume only small amounts to prevent exacerbation of internal coldness. If the red bumps and itching are caused by cold wind invasion, accompanied by symptoms such as cold sensitivity and absence of sweating, consumption should be reduced. If symptoms do not improve or worsen after drinking mung bean soup, seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, maintain skin cleanliness, avoid scratching, and wear loose and breathable clothing to assist in relieving discomfort.
