Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dampness is the source of all diseases, and dampness is the source of most diseases, and it is harmful to the body's qi, blood, fluids, internal organs, muscles, veins and bones. The longer the accumulation, the greater the harm.
This is why some people with heavy dampness begin to explode after middle age, such as fat stomach, poor appetite, greasy skin, hair loss, three highs, and even many gynecological problems in women, and the decline of male X ability, all of which have a lot to do with moisture.
Dehumidification is a long-term battle, if you understand the principle of dampness, you will know what your situation is and what to do. In fact, there are three principles of dampness, one is dry, one is beneficial, and the other is warm, and these three methods are suitable for people with different conditions.
Dryness is like a hair dryer that is hot and dispersed, and the moisture is quickly dried. It is suitable for people who are damp and anxious about the heart, lungs, spleen and stomach.
For example, if you always have a lot of phlegm, you can't spit it out cleanly, your tongue is slippery and white, your mouth is sticky, your appetite is not good, you are prone to bloating, your stool is not formed, and these people are relatively loose and soft, it is suitable to use the dry and wet method to dissipate the moisture from the outside to the top. For example, this rising sun dehumidification soup.
It is like a water pump, which converts moisture into water and drains it out of the urine. It is suitable for people with a lot of moisture, urine and edema.
Because moisture is like water, it condenses when it is cold and likes to go down, so it is easy to go down to the intestines and bladder, resulting in frequent urination and diarrhea, and the perineum and scrotum are moist, and the legs and feet are prone to edema.
These people are suitable for the dampness method, which expels moisture from the urine and urine. For example, this Zhu Ling soup and psyllium damp soup are added or subtracted.
Warm is like a slow roast over low heat, warm and dry from the inside out, suitable for a relatively large range of moisture, a relatively long time, and stubborn moisture.
For example, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, old stomach diseases and gastrointestinal diseases caused by heavy dampness for a long time, arthritis and fasciitis caused by moisture and cold in the joints and tendons, etc., are very suitable for the method of dissipating cold in the middle of the temperature and dissipating the cold in the warm meridian. For example, this Wu Zhu San, Wen Jing dehumidification soup, etc.
In short, the situation of moisture is ever-changing and needs to be treated in different ways. If you feel unwell, you should find a professional doctor in time to recuperate.
