I often feel edema because of my dampness and coldness. Occasionally, I drink honey water. Recently, the edema is severe. The doctor said not to drink honey water. Why shouldn’t people with coldness and dampness drink honey water?

    Honey has the effects of nourishing the spleen and stomach, relaxing the bowels, and alleviating problems such as dry mouth, dry skin, and dry stools. Honey can nourish yin and moisturize dryness, and is suitable for patients with yin deficiency and vigorous heat. However, people with cold or wet physique, or people who often have edema in their bodies, will actually increase moisture by eating honey, which will do more harm than good. So before eating honey, you should consider your physical fitness.
