Hello, I am glad to answer your question. Cold-damp body and damp-heat body should be distinguished? First of all, we need to understand the reasons for the formation of cold and dampness and dampness-heat, the key point of the two evidence lies in the existence of a total of "dampness", the occurrence of dampness in two cases. One is from the exogenous feeling of dampness, such as humid environment, dampness invasion of the human body, the formation of dampness over time stagnation in the human body and lead to the occurrence of disease; two from the human body internal formation of endogenous dampness, mostly due to dietary intolerance, emotional stimulation, excessive fatigue, resulting in visceral dysfunction, stagnation of the metabolism of the water and fluid and triggered.

It is said that all dampness and fullness belong to the spleen. Dampness should be treated mainly by the spleen. Dampness due to cold is cold dampness, and dampness due to heat is heat dampness - Materia Medica Seeking Truth

So why do some people show cold and dampness, and some people show dampness and heat? This is related to the individual's physical disorders of the state, usually in favor of hyper yang, that is, yin deficiency and yang, easy to fire body, dampness is easy to heat from yang, the formation of dampness and heat blockage problems, on the contrary, in favor of yin and cold inside the cold, the shape of cold body, dampness is easy to cold from the yin. The symptoms of the cold and damp body are caused.

Since Cold-Damp and Damp-Heat share the problem of stagnation of Dampness, they both possess the manifestations of internal obstruction of Dampness. For example.Dampness is sticky and greasy, manifesting as loose stools and diarrhea, sticky stools, and thick and greasy tongue coating. Dampness is heavy and turbid, manifesting as drowsiness, confusion, dizziness and tightness of the head. Dampness obstructs the flow of qi and blood, manifesting as distension and fullness in the epigastrium, belching and hiccups, and bad breath and sticky mouth. Dampness accompanied by cold, mostly yang deficiency, stagnation of dampness, in addition to the symptoms of dampness, accompanied by yang deficiency and yin deficiency of cold and dampness manifestations, such as fear of coldness, limbs not warm, loose stools, indigestion, fatigue, aggravated by activity. Dampness accompanied by heat, mostly for the Yang Sheng body, dampness and heat stagnation, in addition to the symptoms of dampness, accompanied by heat injuries to the fluid, appearing dry mouth and bitter mouth, due to the heat can disturb the mind, appearing upset insomnia, palpitations and phlegm, dampness and heat fumigation can appear edema and jaundice, the tongue is red with yellowish greasy coating.etc. Next, Dr. Zhu will give you a detailed and accurate answer and analysis by combining his professional knowledge of Chinese medicine. He will differentiate and compare the two in terms of their physical state, etiology and pathogenesis, manifestations and associated diseases.

★ Dampness is the key to the formation of the cold-damp and damp-heat physique, where does it come from?

• Cold and wet body and hot and humid body a total of the presence of moisture, moisture is the body's water metabolism disorders caused by stagnant fluid, specifically due to the metabolism and transportation of water and fluid viscera dysfunction caused by the fluid can not run into the evidence of the disease. In the human body, the spleen is the main transportation of dietary water and grain, including food and water, the spleen will change the food micro-essence of qi and blood, the fluid and micro-nutrients together up to the lungs, through the lung qi Xuan release scattered fluid in the whole body, the lung qi can also be adjusted to adjust the waterway, the fluid through the San Jiao channel down to the lower part of the body, to the bladder, the formation of metabolites (urine) discharged out of the body.

The five flavors enter the mouth and are hidden in the stomach and intestines; the flavors are hidden to nourish the five qi; the qi is born in harmony; the fluids and fluids are formed; and the gods are born of their own accord - The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine

• Ming Dynasty physician Zhang Jingyue in the "Jingyue encyclopedia" has said that "the spleen strong stomach healthy, water and grain can be positively transformed into gas and blood, if the spleen and stomach is damaged, stagnant fluid anti-wet, diet does not consume anti-stagnation." So the lungs, spleen, kidneys, San Jiao, bladder and other viscera function decline, resulting in water and fluid can not be transported metabolism, stagnation in a part of the body on the formation of the stagnation of dampness, which can cause a number of illnesses, due to the external environment is too wet, such as long in the humid environment, dampness from the outside invasion of the spleen likes to be dry and evil dampness, dampness in the combination of the spleen and stomach, the formation of exogenous stagnation of dampness.

Dampness can come from outside, sitting or lying down, and the body is subjected to rainwater - The Collected Explanations of Medical Formulas

• Due to dietary disorders, cold stimulation, greasy and spicy or excessive alcohol consumption, as well as overwork, emotional disorders and other factors, caused by the lungs, spleen and kidneys internal organs out of whack, can form endogenous dampness.

Eating and Drinking and Laboring Hurts the Spleen - Huang Di Nei Jing

• After the formation of dampness can be based on different people's physical state, the performance of yang loss of people, yang can not warm the human body, coupled with wet for the yin, easy to injure the yang, the formation of cold and damp physical state; performance of yang-heat exuberance of people, dampness and yang-heat stagnation, the formation of a hot and humid physique.

Dampness has different external and internal causes, dampness and heat, cold and dampness. Dampness without fire, the dampness is not transformed and stay gathered for cold. And the evidence of internal dampness, belonging to the yin deficiency, due to the dampness of heat - "Miscellaneous Diseases will heart record".

★ Characteristics of the pathology of the cold-damp body.

• Wu Jutong in the "warm disease" said "cold and wet, wet and cold water gas fight also". Cold and dampness due to the existence of their own Yang Qi deficiency, "Neijing" said "Yang deficiency is cold", Yang deficiency Yang Qi deficiency can not promote the warmth and defense of the human body, cold from the inside, it is easier to feel the outside world of cold and dampness, for example, the same stimulation by the cold and humid environment, Yang deficiency is prone to lumbar and leg pain, fear of cold reaction. Lung, spleen and kidney yang qi deficiency is also prone to dampness stagnation, cold and dampness stagnation together, the formation of a number of evidence of disease, common manifestations are:
• ① wet and cold spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach in the middle focus of the earth, like dry and evil dampness, the spleen and stomach for the sea of water and grains, qi and blood, and the "Nei Jing" said "in the middle focus such as compost", similar to the temperature of the composting pool, the outside world of cold and dampness, or viscera and spleen yang qi insufficient, the formation of the cold and dampness of the spleen. Manifested as a sudden discomfort in the stomach and epigastric region, stools are not shaped, nausea and vomiting, accompanied by fever, no sweat and fear of cold and other cold pathogenic features, belonging to the external cold and dampness trapped spleen performance. Mostly seen in gastrointestinal colds, heat stroke and other diseases, if repeated episodes of this situation that belongs to the cold and damp body, which please professional doctor to give guidance. Chronic cold and dampness trapped spleen, mostly due to dietary disorders, emotional disorders, cold and temperature discomfort, excessive labor and epidemic, resulting in visceral organs, spleen and stomach weakness, yang qi insufficiency triggered, manifested as gastrointestinal discomfort, the body is afraid of the cold, or obesity, sticky stools, the body sleepy, confusion, the whole dreary, such as caused by the lack of kidney yang, accompanied by lumbar and knee soreness and urinary frequency and other manifestations.
• This is a complex case. Huang Yuan-Yi said in The Four Sacred Sources of the Heart that dampness and coldness in the middle-earth can lead to the inability of the liver qi to rise and develop, the inability of the lung qi to converge and descend, and the inability of the heart and kidneys to communicate, which, clinically, results in a wide range of changes in the evidence. Therefore, Dr. Zhu found that cold and dampness can be seen in a variety of functional and organic diseases, such as sub-healthy state, fatigue syndrome, chronic gastroenteritis, hyperlipidemia and so on.

Dampness enters the middle jiao, there is cold dampness, there is hot dampness, there is transmitted from the surface, there is internalization of water and grains, and there is internal and external conjunction. Among the injuries, there are injuries to spleen yang, spleen yin, stomach yang, stomach yin, and two injuries to the spleen and stomach--"Articles on Warm Diseases" (《温病条辨》).

• ② cold and dampness in addition to the spleen and stomach affected, but also affect the lungs, kidneys and the body of the qi and blood operation, such as cold and dampness in the lungs appeared in the form of fear of cold, fear of cold back, coughing and phlegm, pale tongue with white coating. Cold and dampness in the kidneys and meridians, "Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases" called "kidney", due to cold condensation of meridians, dampness obstruction of the waist and kidneys caused by lumbar pain, frequent urination, fatigue. Women's meridians cold and damp, appearing under the belt disease, manifested as cold leucorrhoea color white and more. The above are also the more common problems of cold and damp body.
• In addition, cold and dampness are prone to yang deficiency, and the upper heat and lower cold evidence occurs when yang does not descend. The upper heat is false heat, and the treatment is based on expelling cold and warming yang.

★ Characteristics of Damp-Heat Body Diseases

• Dampness stagnates in the spleen and stomach, and depending on the patient's constitution of yang-sheng and yin-deficient internal heat, heat is transformed from yang into heat, resulting in dampness-heat problems. Like cold and dampness, dampness-heat is most common in the spleen and stomach, and can also affect the whole body. Common conditions of Damp-Heat body are:

• Damp-heat in the spleen and stomach is most commonly seen in dietary indiscipline, over-eating of spices or drinking of alcohol, resulting in weakness of the spleen and stomach, and stagnation of dampness which turns into heat. Dampness and heat obstruct the spleen and stomach, affecting the elevation of spleen and stomach qi, resulting in gastric distension, acid reflux and heartburn, belching and hiccups, bad breath, sticky mouth, and excessive sweating and fear of heat. Dr. Zhu encountered many patients with chronic gastritis with dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, coughing up endless sticky phlegm in the throat, because dampness gathers into phlegm, and heat consumes fluid to make phlegm less sticky. Stool is sticky and sticky toilet, thick and greasy tongue, etc.. Dampness and heat stored in the spleen and stomach, fumigation of qi, blood and fluid, so that the spleen's original color exposed jaundice, nasal yellow, phlegm yellow, or the occurrence of liver and gallbladder diseases, such as hepatitis, fatty liver. After dampness and heat blockage, phlegm-heat-dampness stagnation is formed, disturbing the mind and spirit, resulting in insomnia and dreaminess, night palpitations, and so on.

• ② Damp-heat body is prone to liver and gallbladder damp-heat, damp-heat injection and other conditions, damp-heat stagnation in the liver and gallbladder, liver qi can not rise, stagnation, pain in the ribs, bitter mouth. Liver orifices in the eye, appear eye boogers, eye redness, swelling and pain, headache. Damp-heat downstream injection can occur in women with yellowish leukorrhea, men with swelling of the lower limbs or gout.

In the case of Dampness caused by Depressed Heat, clearing Heat is the most important thing. Or the dampness of the spleen and stomach, flowing obscenely between the four viscera, sinews, flesh and blood - The Essentials of Evidence and Treatment

★Professional differentiation and recommendations

Damp-Heat and Cold-Damp constitutions have spleen and stomach dampness as the underlying disease.Dampness is mostly caused by both external and internal factors, manifesting as dampness obstructing the spleen and stomach in the middle jiao, resulting in stomach distension, loose stools, sticky stools, body fatigue and confusion, and other basic symptoms of dampness... The patient's individual yang-sheng and yang-deficiency body states caused the dampness-evil to undergo subordination, i.e., from yang to heat and from yin to cold. The overall condition of the cold-damp body is based on the cold evidence of yang deficiency, which is manifested by a fear of coldness around the body, fatigue, lack of warmth in the limbs, and a pale tongue with a sunken pulse, accompanied by the underlying manifestations of dampness that cause the disease. Please note that the cold-damp body can also appear yang energy can not sink and appear on the heat performance, that is, on the heat under the cold situation, such as the body afraid of cold stools are not shaped, but repeated mouth ulcers, be careful to identify.

Damp-heat constitution is characterized by excessive sweating and fear of heat, a sleepy body, confusion, phlegm and throat disadvantages, yellowish secretions, such as yellowish nasal mucus, yellowish eye droppings and saliva, short yellow urine, and yellowish leucorrhoea. It is also accompanied by the underlying symptoms of stagnation of dampness. Clinically, cold and damp body is more likely to occur in chronic digestive system diseases, hypothyroidism, tumors. Damp-heat constitution mostly occurs in chronic gastritis, neurosis, gout, hyperlipidemia and so on.

Suggestions: Whether it is cold and wet and hot and wet are visceral disorders triggered, so pay attention to diet, emotion, fatigue and other undesirable triggers of the stimulus is the key to develop good habits, light diet, mood and peace, normal visceral functions will not occur cold, wet and wet and hot and so on, such as the existence of pathological changes, you can consult a professional doctor to give guidance on the treatment, only for the state of the body dysfunctions are generally not much impact, do not have to worry too much.

Finally, I hope Dr. Zhu's answers are helpful.

Note: In the text, reference is made to the theoretical works of Chinese medicine, as well as personal experience and opinions, and the images are from the Internet.

One,What is Cold-Dampness and Damp-Heat

Clinically, we do need to distinguish between cold-damp and damp-heat constitution, because after determining the direction of constitution, the treatment will have a direction. If the judgment is wrong, it will also affect the effectiveness of the treatment.

Wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness and fire are the six types of evils that the human body is prone to feel, of which dampness is the most difficult to deal with, why?Because dampness mixed with other evils is like mixing noodles with oil, of course it is difficult to get rid of it.

And people's physique is different, after feeling dampness, it will show a different state, people with cold physique show cold dampness, people with hot physique show dampness and heat.

ii,The nature of dampness:

There is moisture in the air, and the human body also has a lot of moisture. Simply put, when the body's various functions are out of order, this moisture is no longer a nutrient, but a metabolic waste, this metabolic waste, we can call it dampness.

Tongue diagnosis by looking at the tongue is one of the best ways to reflect the presence of dampness.

iii,Cold and damp body:

Dampness enters the body and changes depending on the body's constitution. If the body is cold and dampness is in the body, and the spleen's yang energy itself is insufficient to expel the dampness, a state of cold and dampness will form.

Tongue Chart:

Four,Damp-Heat Body:

If the physique is better, the spleen's yang qi is relatively sufficient, dampness in the body, it will be expelled by yang qi, but yang qi for a moment can not completely eradicate dampness, it will form a state of confrontation, the formation of the state of dampness and heat.

Tongue Chart:

Five,Other simple ways to identify Cold-Dampness and Damp-Heat

1. Cold-dampness: generally not dry mouth; Damp-heat: generally have dry mouth.

2, cold and damp: tongue coating is generally white; dampness and heat: tongue coating is generally yellow.

3, cold and damp: tongue is generally more fluid, moist; damp and hot: tongue is generally dry, more dry.

4, cold and damp: general fear of cold more; Damp heat: general fear of heat more.

Six,How to condition:

1, damp-heat body group

Damp-heat body can be applieda fewFoods that are cool in nature, such as green beans, coix seed, bitter melon, bananas, dragon fruit, watermelon, pears, and various kinds of herbal teas, but should not be consumed for a long period of time. This is because foods or medicines that are cool in nature can remove dampness and heat and reduce symptoms when used for a short period of time. However, long-term consumption will damage the spleen's yang qi, so even if the damp-heat body for a long time to eat, but will be counterproductive, the loss of the spleen's yang qi, not only can not eliminate the dampness, the function of the spleen will also decline. Loss of appetite, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, loose stools and other symptoms will occur.

Can not stay up late, alcoholism, stay up late will aggravate the consumption of the body's yin fluid, aggravate the deficiency heat. Alcoholism will aggravate intestinal damp-heat, can not eat fried food, eat less of all kinds of brine. All of these habits are not conducive to the discharge of damp-heat evil.

2, the body cold crowd

For people with cold and damp constitution, they can't eat cold fruits, frozen drinks, frozen beer, and drink herbal tea for a long time. For example, some people with Yang deficiency of spleen and stomach will have diarrhea if they take banana and dragon fruit. In addition, decreased appetite, loose stools, bloating, fear of cold, easy to catch a cold and other manifestations are also very common.

Reduce your intake of high-fat, high-protein foods.

Be cautious of using all kinds of drugs that clear heat and detoxify the body to avoid aggravating the damage to the body's yang energy.

Strengthen the movement, Chinese medicine says that the movement is born Yang, only the spleen and stomach Yang qi abundant, can be very good to get rid of the dampness evil.

For those with heavy cold and dampness, you can also use Codonopsis and Poria,Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Atractylodes Macrocephalae and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae in Soup. Atractylodes macrocephala and atractylodes macrocephala are warm in nature, drying dampness and strengthening the spleen.

Chinese medicine emphasizes evidence-based treatment, cold and damp, damp and hot body is not static, but also according to the specific situation and transformation. For example, damp and hot body to eat cold food for a long time or bad dietary habits, habits that damage their own yang qi, will also become cold and damp body. So if the situation is more complicated, or need to find a professional doctor for targeted regulation will be better.

Hello, as a permaculture girl, I want to share some permaculture dry goods~

Nowadays everyone talks about dampness and is concerned about the problem of dampness. Unbeknownst to the public, dampness caused by spleen deficiency is subdivided into cold-dampness and damp-heat. These two can be said to be diametrically opposed symptoms. Here to give you a good strand ~ we first look at the picture!

This is their symptoms, you can see that dampness-heat and cold-dampness are still very distinguishable, dampness is easy to penetrate, when the cold tide cold dampness, when the heat becomes dampness-heat, when the wind evil becomes wind-dampness. Intermingled with each other, it is difficult to distinguish.

Damp-heat and cold-dampness can be transformed into each other. Inflammation caused by dampness-heat focuses on diuresis, and if heat is purged with cold medicines, it will injure yang and turn into cold-dampness.

For example, gynecological inflammation, yellowing of the leukorrhea, Western gynecologists will usually prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, there will be some effect, but can not be cured, but with the increase in the use of medication, resulting in the lower half of the body more and more cold, more and more afraid of cold, which in turn will lead to other problems

Therefore, do not indiscriminate use of drugs, cold and wet body should be less stay in the cold and wet place, to be diligent in washing and sunning underwear.. Streams of water don't rot. Exercise more often to keep them from rotting.Diseases can be eliminated with the flow of blood and qi.

• body type characterized by cold and dampnessIt is possible to useGinseng and Atractylodes Pill ➕Anciphora Polygonatum Pill

• 而Damp-heat body.Normally, the diet should be rich in food that strengthens the spleen and removes dampness, such as winter melon, Job's tears, white lentils, white poria, and so on. And foods that generate dampness, such as alcohol and meat, must be eaten sparingly. Summer can also be usedPatchouli Liquid - specifically for symptoms of Damp-Heat.

First of all, how to identify cold dampness and dampness-heat, in fact, is very simple: the essence of the two body types, are heavy dampness. But dampness is very cunning, encountering heat becomes dampness and heat, encountering cold becomes cold and dampness, from the symptoms can be distinguished -

Cold-damp body with white tongue coatingThe tongue is yellowish and greasy in the Damp-Heat body;

A chart shows you the difference between Damp-Heat and Cold-Damp!

Part I: Arguments for a Cold-Damp Body:

Cold and damp physique is the combination of cold and dampness, is the dampness stagnation in the cold physique of the body, so that the combination of cold and dampness, cold and dampness, both for the yin evil, so cold and dampness is more prone to injure yang qi, blocking the qi.

In the daily symptoms are: mental fatigue, fear of cold, cold limbs, dizziness, heavy body, cold joints, flexion and extension, no sweat.

Some people have fullness in the chest and abdomen, regurgitation with a feeling of vomiting, easy diarrhea, urinating miles and miles of urine.

When the tongue is examined, the tongue is talkative and the moss is white and moist. When taking the pulse, the pulse is dull and slow or dull and smooth.

In the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine - Su Wen: regulation of menstruation theory" has said: "cold and dampness in the people, the skin does not close, muscle firm and tight, Rong blood weeping, Wei Qi to go. Meaning: cold and damp body, the contraction function of the skin is impeded, muscle stiffness, blood circulation is not smooth, resistance immunity is low.

damp-heat syndrome

Dampness combines with heat to form dampness-heat, which blocks the flow of qi in the body, and the ability of the spleen and stomach system to hold water and grains and to putrefy water and grains is not normal.

Common symptoms of dampness-heat:body heat, dizziness, heavy body, chest tightness and irritability, dry and bitter mouth, but no desire to drink, spleen and stomach digestive system is not normal, some people or the face of the body around the yellow, itchy skin pimples, urine is less color red, stool is not shaped, can not be discharged, can not be discharged. Women's leukorrhea is yellow and thick, with an odor.

When the tongue is examined, the tongue is red and the moss is yellow and greasy. When taking the pulse, the pulse is smooth or moistened, etc.

Ye Tianshi, a famous medical doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Hot and wet and hot more blazing, wet and hot and wet more horizontal. It can be seen that dampness and heat promote and strengthen each other, so dampness and heat in the human body is very widely distributed, resulting in the most symptoms.

Conditioning of Cold-Damp and Damp-Heat

Compared to historical dynasties, people nowadays can have enough to eat and wear, so in today's living environment, the symptoms of cold-dampness and damp-heat are mostly slow and rarely acute.

Chinese medicine has: acute treatment of symptoms, slow treatment of the root of the saying, now people are cold and heat and dampness and heat more than: wet as the root of the main, cold and heat for the attachment, as a supplement. In the conditioning of Chinese medicine soup, pills, there are medicinal food and tea drink, there is food therapy. Regardless of which program is taken, it is necessary to personalize the conditioning guidance under the guidance of professionals in order to achieve good results.

Pictured below:

Figure 1: Cold-Damp Body Figure 2: Damp-Heat Body Figure 3: Cold-Heat Mixing of Dampness.

With the improvement of living standards, more and more attention to health, for what they are constitution, how to go according to their own constitution to health is very important, leaving their own constitution to health, will not be able to health, or even counterproductive, talk about the cold and wet constitution and hot and humid constitution.

One,In the health of the nine physiques have phlegm-damp physique, damp-heat physique, if the phlegm-damp physique is cold, then it is cold-damp physique, that is, cold-damp physique is similar to phlegm-damp physique.

1. Phlegm (cold) wet body (phlegm-damp body is cold)：

II. Nutritional Considerations:

1, cold and damp body health:

(1),Less risk of rain and snow ☔️ marching, less living in cold and wet places, so as to avoid cold and wet into the body, aggravating cold and wet.

(2),Eat less cold products, such as ice cream 🍦 and ice drinks, which damage the spleen yang and aggravate cold-dampness in the body.

(3)Treatment of disease attention to cold drugs, so as not to aggravate the body cold dampness.

(4),Try to use air conditioning as little as possible in the summer, in the case of avoiding heatstroke, or out of the outdoor activities, exposure to sunlight, increase the body's yang energy, to get rid of cold and dampness.

(5)In winter, pay attention to keep warm, less touch the wind and snow, wind cold into the body, aggravate the body cold and dampness.

(6),Intake of warm food, such as sheep soup, pigeon meat soup, onion, ginger, aniseed, fennel, pepper, cinnamon, etc. can be used as soup or cooking materials.

(4),When treating diseases, pay attention to the use of warm and hot medicines, so as to avoid the interlocking of hot medicines with dampness in the body and the formation of damp-heat.

The above talk about cold and wet constitution and hot and humid constitution, as well as health precautions, I believe we have some understanding. First of all, we must understand their own constitution, do not people cloud health, not suitable for their own health, not only no benefit, but the opposite of the appropriate. I wish you all understand health, will health, health and wellness!

(Friendly reminder: the text of the prescription for learning and communication only, do not self-medication, responsibility, if you like Chinese medicine popular health, please pay attention to this number)

Cold and damp body and damp-heat body are common body, and living habits, living environment and dietary habits are closely related to living in a wet place for a long time, or wading in the rain, or water work, protection is not in place and feel the dampness of this kind of external dampness; too much to eat cold cold cold or alcoholism, resulting in a loss of the spleen, dampness and turbidity within the stop, which is more for the internal dampness. Dampness invasion of the human body from the cold or from the heat, spleen yang is weak, easy from the cold, stomach heat is easy from the heat; too much use of cold easy from the cold, too much use of warm dry, easy from the heat.

Identify cold and damp body and damp-heat body, can be distinguished from different pathological manifestations: damp and cold together, is cold damp; damp and heat together, is damp-heat. External cold and dampness, flow into the joints, blocking the meridians will appear the whole body pain, joints heavy pain is heavier, swelling of the limbs and other symptoms; cold and dampness within the birth of cold and cold limbs, abdominal pain and diarrhea, head and body sleepy, sticky mouth, tasteless loose stools or diarrhea and other symptoms.

How to recognize cold-damp body and damp-heat body and how to regulate it?

In order to recognize a cold-damp body and a damp-heat body, then you need to know what a cold-damp body and a damp-heat body are.

The so-called cold-damp body is the combination of cold and dampness of the six evils that attack the human body and cause it to develop. It generally has two kinds of exogenous and endogenous, and the symptoms it shows: exogenous limb muscle pain is serious, and mixed with soreness and heaviness, bad cold, no sweat; endogenous spleen deficiency and diarrhea, complete grain not to be transformed, gastric and epigastric cold and pain, or swelling of the limbs, syncope, urination, long, pale and watery slippery tongue with white moss, and so on.
