If you go to the hospital for a check-up, you won’t find any major illness; but you may suffer from these minor ailments every day.

Now that we have entered winter, the weather is changeable, sometimes rainy, sometimes wet, sometimes dry, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening. At this time of year, a considerable number of people will find themselves feeling heavy and weak, short of breath and lazy to speak, having difficulty getting up in the morning, feeling dizzy and sleepy, having a decreased appetite, and having symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting .

Why is this? This is the problem caused by " humidity " . There is a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine that “ a thousand kinds of cold are easy to get rid of, but one kind of dampness is difficult to get rid of . ”

You can try to stick out your tongue in front of a mirror. If you see tooth marks on the edge of your tongue, thick white or yellow tongue coating, and accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea, it can be determined that you have a lot of moisture in your body. Some people with heavy moisture in their body may develop common moisture-related skin diseases such as herpes and eczema.

I knew nothing about these things before, but I often felt soreness and pain in my waist. I always thought it was a minor problem , so I followed the mainstream and chose to use cupping to remove moisture. However, the symptoms such as sore waist did not improve, but became more serious. Until later, a friend of mine who suffered from rheumatism had been looking for a Chinese medicine doctor for treatment. He thought the effect was good, so he took me to see him.

As soon as the Chinese doctor saw me, he said that I had too much dampness in my body, and added that because everyone's physique is different, the manifestations of dampness will naturally be different. The key to treating the disease is to prescribe the right medicine for the right disease. Cupping is obviously not suitable for me. Finally, the Chinese doctor prescribed me a diet therapy recipe for removing dampness . This recipe includes the two medicinal herbs mentioned above. Even though I don't have back pain now, I still eat it regularly. Because it is a diet therapy, I feel at ease eating it.

The following are some symptoms of heavy dampness listed by a Chinese medicine expert (long press to copy the WeChat ID: huahuaqushi , a Chinese medicine expert will diagnose and treat you online):

1. Loss of appetite, diarrhea or sticky and uncomfortable stools more than 3 times a day;

2. Oily head and face, acne, blackheads, and even seborrheic alopecia ;

3. Feeling of heaviness in the head and body, and weakness in the limbs;

4. There is a foreign body sensation in the throat when you wake up in the morning, and you cough up sticky white or yellow and smelly phlegm.

5. For back pain, cupping can be used to treat pain and water droplets can be seen in the cup;

6. The mouth feels sticky, especially after eating. Eating too much will cause abdominal distension and diarrhea , and may be accompanied by dry mouth and no desire to drink water.

“ Dampness is not just one disease, it covers hundreds of diseases . ” Because the damp heat cannot be discharged from the body, it will look for various outlets to vent, resulting in various external symptoms. If dampness and heat are not eliminated, they may cause fatty liver, asthma, high blood pressure , gout and some complications over time. At the same time, dampness can affect a person's spleen and stomach, hindering the absorption of medicines. It is also an accomplice and cause of disease, causing some diseases to recur.

How to effectively remove dampness

1. Externally: Use medications simultaneously for the external symptoms caused by dampness to eliminate them as soon as possible.

People with damp-heat constitution need to start by adjusting their lifestyle habits. Eat less spicy food, sweets, cold drinks, etc., and do not eat too much high-calorie food such as beef and mutton; you should also relax and ensure adequate sleep .

In terms of diet therapy, Chinese medicine believes that dampness and heat trap the spleen and affect the lungs and kidneys. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of removing dampness, you need to take into account the following points: promoting water and removing dampness + strengthening the spleen + strengthening the kidneys

At the same time, it can take into account the infiltration of water and dampness, strengthening the spleen and strengthening the kidneys. The dietary therapy passed down by our ancestors can easily solve the problem.  

Gorgon fruit is an excellent choice for strengthening the spleen and kidneys . It is one of the most precious high-grade medicinal materials and is known as the " ginseng in water " . Gorgon fruit tastes sweet and astringent, and is neutral in nature. According to Chinese medicine, Gorgon fruit can resist aging and prolong life, tonify the middle and replenish qi, strengthen the spleen and stop diarrhea, consolidate the kidneys and benefit the essence, and remove dampness. Traditional Chinese medicine says: The spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of Qi and blood.

The effect of removing dampness will be better if Gorgon fruit is combined with Job's tears .  

Dispel dampness and promote diuresis, strengthen the spleen and nourish the lungs. The main effect of coix seed is to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.
