生薏米 vs 熟薏米
李小姐：「聽說吃薏米可以祛濕，但怕生薏米太寒涼，吃熟薏米可以嗎？」
CheckCheckCin：從中醫角度來看，生薏米性涼，有清熱、健脾、祛濕的功效，適合痰濕及濕熱體質人士服用。而熟薏米是經炒熟的生薏米，屬性平和，但作用變得較為溫和，通常取其健脾作用，祛濕功效大減。如體質偏寒，烹調生薏米時可加少許生薑同煮，或以屬性平和的茯苓、扁豆衣代替，這些食材性平但均有化濕作用。順帶一提名字類近的洋薏米，是去殼的大麥，與薏米沒有關係，它有健脾及回乳作用，含豐富纖維，有助腸道蠕動。
生薏米 — 性涼，能清熱健脾祛濕，消腫排膿。適合痰濕及濕熱體質人士服用。孕婦、小便頻及便秘人士慎服。
熟薏米 — 性平，是經炒熟的生薏米。作用較溫和，健脾為主。適合氣虛、血虛、陽虛、痰濕、濕熱體質人士服用。孕婦慎服。
洋薏米 — 又稱珍珠麥。是去殼的大麥，有健脾及回乳作用，療效不大。適合各體質人士服用。
