1. Know moisture and why it is
1. Sources of moisture
Moisture mainly comes from two aspects: one is external dampness, that is, the dampness in the natural environment invades the human body, such as wading in the rain and living in wetlands for a long time; The second is internal dampness, which is mostly caused by improper diet and weak spleen and stomach, resulting in abnormal water and fluid transport in the body.

Second, the patting method is easy and effective
Since moisture is so annoying, how do we deal with it? Don't worry, here's a simple and easy way to pat and remove dampness, which can effectively relieve dampness in just a few minutes a day.
1. Pat the elbow fossa
Function: The elbow fossa is the place where the three yin meridians of the hand and the three yang meridians of the hand pass, and patting here can dredge the meridians, promote the circulation of qi and blood, and help discharge the dampness in the body.
Method: Straighten your arm, use the palm of your other hand or your fist to pat your elbow fossa 50-100 times on each side until the area is slightly red and hot.
2. Pat your armpits
Function: There is a Jiquan acupoint in the armpit, which is an important acupuncture point of the heart meridian, and patting the armpit can stimulate the heart meridian, promote lymphatic drainage, and reduce dampness in the body.
Method: Lift one arm and gently pat the armpit with the palm or fist of the other hand, paying attention to moderate force to avoid injury caused by excessive force. Pat 30-50 times on each side.
3. Pat the groin
Function: The groin is the part of the spleen meridian and stomach meridian, and it is also one of the important detoxification channels of the human body. Tapping the groin can promote blood circulation in the lower body and speed up the discharge of moisture.
Method: Stand or lie down, make fists with both hands, and gently pat the groin area on both sides, 50-100 times each time, and it is advisable to feel warm locally.
4. Pat the knee socket
Function: The Weizhong acupoint at the knee fossa is an important acupuncture point of the bladder meridian, which is one of the largest detoxification channels in the human body. Tapping the knee fossa can stimulate the bladder meridian and promote the excretion of damp toxins from the body.
Method: Sit on a chair or stand, with your legs slightly bent, and take turns patting the knee socket with the palms of both hands or fists, 50-100 times on each side, until local fever is raised.
5. Slap the full three miles
Function: Zusanli is the key point of the stomach meridian, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, dispelling dampness and dissolving phlegm. Tapping Zusanli can enhance the function of the spleen and stomach and fundamentally reduce the production of moisture.
Method: Find the outer side of the calf, 3 inches (about four fingers wide) below the calf's nose point, that is, the Zusanli point. Gently tap with your fist or knuckles for 100-200 strokes each time, taking the local soreness as the degree.

3. Precautions for patting and removing dampness
1. Moderate dynamics
The force should be moderate when patting, not only to stimulate the meridians and promote the circulation of qi and blood, but also to avoid skin damage or bruising caused by excessive force.
2. Take it step by step
It is normal to experience pain or discomfort at the beginning of the beating. Over time, the pain will gradually lessen and the body will gradually adapt. It is recommended to start with small, light pats and gradually increase the number and strength of taps.
3. Be persistent
Dampness is not an overnight effort, and it takes a long time to see results. It is recommended to incorporate the patting method into the daily health regimen and practice the tapping regularly every day.
4. Cooperate with diet
In addition to patting to remove dampness, you can also assist in removing dampness through dietary conditioning. Eat less cold, greasy, sweet and other foods that are easy to get wet; Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and dampness, such as barley, red beans, winter melon, etc.
Moisture is like a "little devil" lurking in the body, silently eroding our health. Remember, health starts with dampness.
