Women, stop exposing yourself, as this is where the cold and dampness will enter your body

“A thousand kinds of cold are easy to get rid of, but one kind of dampness is hard to get rid of. Dampness is sticky and turbid, like oil entering the body.” It describes the excessive moisture in the human body, which can make people lose their spirits and thus affect the functioning of the body. So where does the cold and dampness come from?
