Can Houttuynia cordata remove moisture?

Houttuynia cordata has a certain dehumidifying effect.

Dampness in the body means that water cannot flow with the blood and is retained between body cells, causing the body to swell rapidly. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidifying properties can remove the water retained in the human body and reduce swelling. Houttuynia cordata contains organic substances that can promote capillary dilation. When these organic substances enter the body, the blood flow and urine secretion in the body will increase. In addition, Houttuynia cordata also contains potassium, which has a good diuretic effect. Therefore, drinking more Houttuynia cordata soaked in water can also help remove moisture.

Some people have very oily faces, especially on both sides of the nose. Even if they wash their faces more frequently and keep their faces clean, the problem still exists.

Look at the color of the tongue coating. If it is pink and rosy, it is relatively normal. If the tongue coating is too white or yellow and thick, it means that there is a lot of moisture in the body.
