Lu Dou
Lu means green, Dou means bean. It is a green bean, particularly a mung bean. This bean goes to the heart and stomach and is sweet. If you have summer heat and are irritable, thirsty, and feverish, Lu Dou will clear the heat and resolve any toxicity from that heat (sores/swelling). It is also an antidote for Fuzi overdose (and as everyone seems to be saying lately, "that's aconite!"; to which I respond, "What the hell is aconite?").
Caution taking this if you have loose stools or diarrhea.
Beat the heat with the green bean (lu dou), but not if you've got the runs.
