Did you know that the key to dispelling dampness is to soothe the liver and tonify the kidneys, not the spleen?
Many people may have questions, doesn't traditional Chinese medicine say that "the spleen is the source of dampness"? How to replenish the spleen is wrong? In fact, it does not mean that it is wrong to replenish the spleen, but it cannot be supplemented by the spleen alone, otherwise why do those people with heavy dampness still use spleen strengthening and dampness medicine to recur? The fundamental reason is that there are very few people with simple spleen deficiency, and more people are suffering from liver depression and spleen deficiency and spleen and kidney deficiency
Moreover, the liver, kidneys, spleen and stomach are closely related. The liver is adjacent to the spleen and stomach in the position, in the five elements, the liver belongs to the wood, the spleen belongs to the soil, and the liver wood is the spleen and soil, so when the liver is not good, the spleen and stomach will be the first to be affected; in addition, now the social pressure is so great, there are more and more people with liver depression, and there are more and more people with liver depression and spleen deficiency, and the relative humidity is getting heavier and heavier
At this time, in addition to phlegm, heavy body, and unformed stool, it will also be accompanied by mood swings, irritability, sighing, and flank pain. At this time, if you want to remove dampness and remove the roots, you have to soothe the liver, strengthen the spleen, and dispel dampness together
Then the spleen and kidney are mutually breeding and transforming each other, and the influence is inevitable; so spleen deficiency for a long time will lead to kidney deficiency, kidney deficiency for a long time will lead to spleen deficiency, and even some people have spleen and kidney deficiency; moreover, the kidney is also involved in water metabolism, which can help the body to discharge moisture, once the kidney is deficient, in addition to the moisture in the body becomes more, it will also be accompanied by soreness in the waist and knees, cold hands and feet, frequent urination, urgency, nocturia, etc. Therefore, at this time, if you want to remove dampness and remove the roots, you have to replenish the spleen and kidneys at the same time, and you can refer to the combination of aconite Li Zhong Tang and Erchen Tang to regulate
In short, the key to dampness in modern people is to soothe the liver and tonify the kidneys, not to strengthen the spleen. Don't blindly follow the trend of medication, if you feel unwell, please seek medical attention offline in time, and we'll see you next time.
