Are mung beans good for acne?

Mung beans clear heat and toxins from the skin, and cool heat in the blood. Therefore, mung beans help to reduce acne and other skin symptoms, such as the common skin rash, cold sores, mouth ulcers, pimples and boils. My acupuncture Dr. used to prescribe a mung bean drink to my teen daughter to help clear her acne condition.
