To prevent serious illness, you must first eliminate dampness, heat and toxins. This way, minor illnesses will not recur and serious illnesses will not occur to you!

Modern people live in an environment with heating in winter and air conditioning in summer, and their sense of the four seasons is becoming increasingly unclear. In the summer, when you should sweat, the air conditioner prevents the sweat from evaporating and it accumulates in the body; in the winter, when the heater is on, you still sweat even if you wear only a single layer of clothes, and your yang energy escapes and your essence cannot be contained. So what signals does the body send that indicate there is damp-heat toxin in the body?

1. When you wake up - see how you feel

If you feel particularly tired, dizzy, and lack of energy when you wake up every morning, or feel like you are wearing wet clothes, and your whole body is not refreshed and you are too lazy to move...

Then it is certain that there is dampness in your body.

2. When going to the toilet - look at the stool

After going to the bathroom in the morning, you can observe your stool. Is it stuck to the toilet? Even a tank of water can't flush it away. If it is inconvenient to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. Normally, one or two pieces of paper are enough. If three or five pieces of paper cannot be wiped clean after repeated wiping (this is why the medical record asks about bowel movements), it also shows that there is dampness in the body.

The color and shape of the stool can also help determine whether there is dampness in the body. Normal stools are golden yellow and banana-shaped, but few people have this healthy stool nowadays. When there is dampness in the body, the stool will be blue in color, loose and soft without any shape (this is an important sign of spleen deficiency, which many people have), and there will always be a feeling of incomplete excretion. Over time, the toxins produced by stool retention accumulate in the body, causing a variety of diseases.

3. When washing your mouth - look at your tongue coating

After going to the toilet, we usually start washing. Before brushing our teeth, we might as well take a few seconds to look at our tongue in the mirror. “The tongue is the sprout of the heart and the external sign of the spleen.” The tongue can sensitively reflect our physical condition.

A healthy tongue is pale pink and moist, with a thin, white and clear layer of tongue coating on the surface, with moderate dryness and wetness, neither slippery nor dry. If the tongue does not meet these indicators, it means that there is a problem with the body's functions.

If the tongue coating is white and thick, and looks smooth and moist, it means that there is cold in the body; if the tongue coating is rough or very thick, yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; if the tongue is red and has no coating, it means that the body is already hot to a certain degree and has damaged the yin.

In addition to the above three main points, there are two more methods of judgment:

First, see if you feel nauseous when brushing your teeth in the morning.

Second, when you wake up in the morning, do you feel your calves are sore and heavy?
