If the earth is weak, it cannot distribute body fluids throughout the body, and food and water will always remain in the stomach and cause dampness. The classics say: When dampness is excessive, it will cause diarrhea. Therefore, we know that watery diarrhea is caused by dampness. Atractylodes is sweet, warm and dry.
