Why people make this congee
An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) is an endocrine imbalance, and people living with it often feel run-down yet wired: sweating, heat intolerance, big appetite but weight loss, talkative and on edge, restless, with poor sleep, palpitations, facial flushing, trembling, warm palms and protruding eyes. This congee is traditionally taken as a gentle, cooling support — it’s associated with nourishing yin, moistening dryness and calming that inner restlessness and heat.
