What are the Chinese medicine prescriptions for damp-heat?

In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many people with a damp-heat constitution, which can easily cause a series of diseases, so we should pay attention to eliminating dampness and heat in our daily lives. What's more, the environment that many people live in nowadays can also cause dampness and heat in the body, so for the sake of good health, you should learn how to treat it correctly. So, what are the Chinese medicine prescriptions used to treat dampness and heat?

The treatment of damp-heat is generally divided into dampness-focused or heat-focused. For those with heavy dampness, the main focus is on eliminating dampness, and you can choose Liuyi Powder, or Sanren Decoction (15 grams of apricot kernel, 18 grams of talc, 6 grams of white cardamom, 6 grams of bamboo leaf, 6 grams of Magnolia officinalis, 18 grams of raw coix seed, 15 grams of Pinellia), or Pingwei Powder; for those with heavy heat, the main focus is on clearing away heat, and you can choose Lianpu Yin, Yinchenhao Decoction, or even Gegenqinlian Decoction (30 grams of Pueraria root, 5 grams of Coptis chinensis, 20 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, 5 grams of roasted Licorice root). Under this principle, the corresponding medicine is selected according to certain special manifestations. For example, for eczema and carbuncle, add wild chrysanthemum, plantain grass, sophora flavescens, and white moss; for swollen and painful joints, add cinnamon twig, honeysuckle vine, mulberry branch, etc.; for diarrhea or even dysentery, add whiteheada, sanguisorba officinalis, and plantago seed, etc.; for scrotal eczema, testicular swelling and pain, and yellow and smelly leucorrhea, add gentian and sophora flavescens, etc.; for hematuria, add thistle, imperata root, stone reed, and Polygonum multiflorum, etc.

In addition, because heat often exists with moisture, attention should be paid to improving the living environment and regulating the diet. It is not advisable to overeat or drink alcohol, and eat less greasy food and sweets to maintain good digestive function and avoid water retention or moisture entering from the outside. This is the key to preventing damp heat.
