Does red bean and lotus seed soup have diuretic and dampness-removing effects?

Red bean and lotus seed soup has diuretic and dampness-removing effects. These three ingredients are all foods and can be consumed directly. Red beans are neutral in nature, with a sweet-sour taste, and are non-toxic. They have the functions of nourishing the body, strengthening the spleen and stomach, promoting urination, eliminating dampness, clearing heat and detoxifying, stimulating milk production, and enriching the blood. This makes them suitable for dietary therapy in patients with various types of edema. When there is internal dampness, urine output typically decreases, accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the limbs, reluctance to move, a sensation of weight, and a tendency toward obesity. Atractylodes (Bai Zhu) and Poria (Fu Ling) can be used to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.
