This is also the reason why fire therapy for dehumidification is effective for some people but ineffective for others.

Which dampness is suitable for fire therapy?

Fire therapy is most suitable for patients with cold and dampness, followed by rheumatism. Fire therapy is not suitable for patients with damp heat.

Fire therapy can dredge the meridians and activate the collaterals, warm the meridians and dispel cold, remove wind and dampness, and is suitable for cold dampness or rheumatism. However, since fire therapy can increase heat, fire therapy for patients with damp-heat will not only fail to remove moisture from the body, but will make the heat symptoms more obvious.

Fire therapy is a comprehensive method that combines body surface heat therapy, massage, and drug application. The effect is definitely better than a single method.

How to determine if there is moisture in the body

Mental fatigue

If you feel tired, lack energy and have a dizzy head every day, it is because there is dampness in your body.

Thick and greasy tongue coating

A normal person's tongue coating is thin, white and moist. If the tongue coating is thick and greasy and feels like water is sliding through it, it indicates that there is dampness in the body. A thick, white and slippery tongue coating indicates cold and dampness, while a thick, yellow and greasy tongue coating indicates damp heat.

Sticky and soft stool

If there is feces stuck on the toilet bowl when you flush the toilet after defecation, or the feces are loose and unformed, it indicates that there is cold and dampness in the body. If you always feel uncomfortable after defecation, and you cannot defecate completely and the feces are very smelly, it indicates that there is damp heat in the body.

2. After the treatment, you will feel refreshed, no longer drowsy, and full of energy all over your body, which means that the dampness has been expelled from the body.

3. Look at the tongue coating. If the tongue coating becomes thinner and the mouth is no longer sticky, it means that the dampness has been expelled from the body.

4. The stool is formed, yellow in color and does not reflect light. It no longer sticks to the toilet bowl when flushing, which also means that the dampness has gone away.
