What is the best way to remove moisture from the body?

What methods can be used to eliminate moisture from the body is the primary consideration for many patients. First of all, a method worth choosing is to use drugs to drive away moisture, but the efficacy of some drugs is not very strong and it takes a certain amount of time. Secondly, the effect of only using auxiliary treatment methods such as exercise is bound to be not ideal. So the question is, what are the best ways to remove moisture from the body?

An old Chinese doctor recommends that everyone eat: Huiqiong Powder. This dietary therapy recipe for removing dampness has a long history. It comes from the "Hejijufang" of the Song Dynasty. The formula of Huiqiong Powder is: Atractylodes macrocephala (fried), Coix seed (calcined), white Poria cocos, white hyacinth bean, and mulberry bark. Everyone knows that taking Huiqiong Powder can remove dampness, but few people know that the raw materials must be fried over low heat to effectively remove the cold and damp components in the raw materials, and that it must be combined with Atractylodes macrocephala and Morus alba bark. Later, it was passed down to this day, and almost everyone with a little common sense knows that it can be used to make porridge with red beans, coix seeds, yam, etc., but they do not know the origin of this folk remedy.

The gastrointestinal system is related to the metabolism of nutrients and water. The best way is to eat a moderate and balanced diet. Oily foods such as alcohol, milk, fatty and sweet foods are difficult to digest and can easily cause gastrointestinal bloating and inflammation. Sweets and fried foods will cause the body to produce peroxides, aggravating the inflammatory response.

Raw and cold food, ice cream or cold vegetables and fruits will cause the digestion and absorption function of the stomach and intestines to stagnate, and should not be consumed frequently, such as lettuce, salad, watermelon, cabbage, bitter gourd, etc. It is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to reduce the cold nature of the vegetables.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, insufficient sleep is a symptom of spleen deficiency, and getting a good night's sleep can also make our bodies lighter. It is recommended to go to bed before 11 o'clock every night. Adding some exercise every day will help you sleep better. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sleep and wakefulness are the result of the alternation of yin and yang. The midnight and noon hours are when yin and yang alternate, and it is also the time when the body's meridian qi "combines yin" and "combines yang".

The hour of midnight refers to the time from 23:00 to 1:00, when Yin is at its strongest and Yang is weak, and it is the time when the Liver Meridian circulates; sleeping at the hour of midnight can best nourish Yin and provide the best sleeping effect. Noon refers to 11:00-1:00 in the morning, when Yang energy is at its strongest and Yin energy is weak, and it is the time when Qi and blood flow into the Heart Meridian; sleeping at noon is beneficial to nourishing Yang in the human body. Therefore, although it is better to go to bed late and get up early, the sleeping time at night should not exceed 23:00. It is advisable to take a "nap" between 11:00 and 1:00 in the afternoon, which lasts for half an hour to an hour. A good nap at noon helps to connect the yin and yang energies smoothly, so as to adapt to the trend of yin and yang interaction in this solar term.
