How to remove moisture from the body

Dampness has a great impact on human health. When the moisture in the body is serious, it often causes physical fatigue, loose stools, oily face, acne due to active sebaceous glands, etc. At this time, you can remove the moisture in the body through certain conditioning. For example, barley and red bean porridge is a very good way to remove moisture. You can also drink lentil and corn soup. Paying more attention to exercise can also help eliminate moisture.

How to remove moisture from the body

(I) Two soups to get rid of dampness

1. Barley and red bean soup

In daily life, if there is too much moisture in the body, the first thing people think of should be red beans and coix seeds. We all know that the combination of red beans and coix seeds is a good medicine for removing dampness. Red beans are called "adzuki beans" in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to the above effects, they can also nourish the heart and are suitable for consumption in summer. There is no need to consider the ratio. Just grab a handful of each ingredient to make soup. You can add some rock sugar, which has an excellent effect in removing dampness. Most of its active ingredients are in the soup, so you can put it in a bottle and take it to work to drink. It is recommended not to add rice as rice contains moisture and although it tastes good it will greatly reduce the efficacy. In addition, barley and red bean soup is also a good choice for obese people and middle-aged and elderly people.

2. Lentil and corn soup

When making dehumidifying soup, you can add appropriate amount of soup ingredients that replenish qi and nourish blood.

Such as 30 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 20 grams of jujube, 10 grams of wolfberry, 30 grams of Dioscorea paniculata, and 30 grams of raw Coix seed, which can invigorate qi and eliminate dampness. If you can't determine what kind of dampness you have, you can use ingredients with mild medicinal properties to make soup. The most commonly used ingredients are Chinese yam, wild yam, lentils, and corn. People with dampness can eliminate dampness and cure the disease, and people without dampness can strengthen the spleen.

2. Exercise

Sometimes many people think that exercise can remove moisture from the body. This is because exercise will cause sweating, which can eliminate moisture from the body. Running, walking, swimming and other exercises can help activate blood circulation and enhance water metabolism in the body.

Most people who suffer from dampness are those who often eat greasy food or lack exercise. These people are often unwilling to move because they feel heavy and their limbs are weak. However, the less they like to exercise, the more dampness accumulates in the body. Over time, the dampness will inevitably attack the spleen and cause damp-heat symptoms.

(III) Five steps to pat away the moisture in the body

1. Clapping

People with heavy moisture in their bodies will have a blue or purple color on the thenar eminence of both hands near the wrists. Clap your hands frequently, especially on the thenar eminence, to remove moisture trapped in the body. When you first start clapping, you will feel uncomfortable all over. At this time, you must persist and don’t give up.

2. Scratching the armpits

The apex of the armpit is the Jiquan point, which is an important acupuncture point of the Heart Meridian and the place with the most dense lymph nodes in the armpit. Regularly massaging and kneading this area can help detoxify the heart.

The apex of the armpit is Jiquan acupoint, which is an important acupoint of the heart meridian and the place with the most dense lymph nodes in the armpit.

3. Pat the elbow pit

Patting the elbow pits can remove toxins from the heart and lungs. If you do it continuously for 5 to 10 minutes, toxin reactants of different colors, such as blue, red, purple, and black, will appear.

4. Pat the groin

Patting the groin can speed up the circulation of qi and blood and expel pathogens. It not only strengthens the spleen and stomach, but is also very effective in regulating gynecological diseases and treating blood stasis and phlegm caused by poor blood circulation.

5. Pat the popliteal fossa

At the center point of the popliteal fossa (the depression behind the knee), there is an important acupuncture point - Weizhong point, which runs through the bladder meridian. The bladder meridian is the largest detoxification and dehumidification channel in the human body, and the Weizhong point is an important sewage outlet on this channel. If this area is blocked, moisture in the body cannot be discharged, which can easily lead to arthritis. When you have free time, pat the popliteal fossa for 5 to 10 minutes, or until sha or bruises appear. Do this once every 10 days to keep the sewage outlet unobstructed so that the moisture in the body can be discharged smoothly.

(IV) Light diet

The gastrointestinal system is related to the metabolism of nutrients and water. The best way to protect the gastrointestinal tract is to eat a light, moderate and balanced diet. Greasy foods such as 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 foods, ice cream or cold vegetables and fruits will cause the digestive and absorption functions of the stomach and intestines to stagnate and should not be consumed frequently. When cooking lettuce, salad, watermelon, cabbage, bitter gourd, etc., it is best to add onions and ginger to reduce the cold nature of the vegetables.
