Why do you need to take medicine to remove dampness? Just drink a cup of tea every day and all the dampness will be gone in half a month.

The most obvious experience of heavy dampness in the body is that the whole body feels heavy, especially the head. No matter how long I sleep, I still feel like I didn’t get enough sleep, I’m not energetic, and my head feels heavy when I wake up every day. How painful is it to have excessive moisture in the body? Let's feel it first:

1. Oily hair, shiny face, rough skin, acne and spots;

2. Physical weakness, often feeling tired and lack of concentration;

3. The edge of the tongue is serrated, commonly known as "skirt tongue";

4. Women's private parts are damp, while men's private parts are damp and cold;

5. Affect sexual life;

6. Snoring, excessive phlegm, and cough;

7. The stool is loose, sticky, fishy, ​​and sticky without any shape;

8. Drooping eye bags, severe dark circles, obesity, and rapid rebound after weight loss.

When it comes to removing dampness, everyone feels helpless. There is also an old saying: "It is easy to get rid of a thousand colds, but difficult to get rid of one dampness." Among the "six evil spirits" that cause disease, wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, Chinese medicine fears dampness the most. In the south, spring is the season of high humidity. For many people who are maintaining their health or trying to lose weight, removing dampness becomes a top priority. However, Chinese medicine emphasizes that in the process of removing dampness, we must pay attention to:

1. Keep the air circulating in the house

2. Eat less sweet and greasy food

3. Avoid raw and cold food

4 When washing your hair, be careful not to use shampoo and then massage your hair with wet hair. After washing your hair, you should fully dry your body.

5. Keep your clothes dry

6. Don't sleep on the floor in summer

7. Avoid going out on wet and rainy days

8. Drink less alcohol

There are two main reasons for heavy dampness: one is external evil, and the other is internal dampness. This is due to weakness and poor function of the spleen, lungs, and kidneys, or improper eating habits, which cause the dampness in the body to be unable to be discharged normally and accumulate like garbage. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine advocates that removing dampness through diet therapy is often more effective and safer than removing dampness through cupping or moxibustion. Sophora japonica bean and coix seed tea is recommended here.

Recipe: 1.5g coix seed, 1g red bean, 0.2g each of light bamboo leaf, purslane, sophora japonica seed, Euryale ferox, and green tea

Method: Mix and boil tea, wait until it cools down and drink.

Efficacy: Diuretic and detumescent, invigorating the spleen and benefiting the stomach. Drinking it regularly can help detoxify and eliminate dampness, promote metabolism, and is very easily absorbed. After half a month, you will feel refreshed and your stool will not be as sticky. It also has the effects of losing weight and brightening the skin.

Exercise is essential

Diet therapy is certainly important, but lack of exercise is also a cause of dampness in the body that cannot be ignored. Therefore, proper participation in some sports can help enhance the effect of removing dampness (running, yoga, swimming, slow walking, Tai Chi, etc.).
