Why people make this soup

When immunity is low, very dry or very humid weather can set the skin itching. Scratching gives brief relief but often makes it worse — an itch-scratch cycle. Nourilo reminds you that very hot showers feel soothing at first but strip the skin’s oils and dry it out, making things worse, so keep the water cool when itching flares; easing stress helps too, since anxiety can trigger itch. Today’s bowl is a comforting, heat-and-damp-clearing family soup traditionally turned to for damp-heat skin troubles and eczema.
