Celery soup with petioles or leek, teardrop and adzuki

Celery soup with petioles or leek, teardrop and adzuki is suitable for the need to remove moisture from the body (sweating, urination, drying) before the cold winter season. The combination of both celeries is thermodynamically balanced.

If necessary, one of them can prevail, petiolate with concomitant heat and burning when urinating or acne. With other addictions, we target various effects, we add leeks for yang xu and the need to stir qi, to intensify joint pain with cold and swelling, and we add parsley root. We use this soup for a short time for medical purposes and we gradually aim to prevent sweating and harmonization according to the constitution of each individual.

For persons of the constitution, yin xu is inappropriate !!! Drying slimming people with red tongues with scratches, without signs of moisture in the body.

possibly leeks,
parsley root,
a small cup of tears,
