A friend asked me the other day how she was still so wet even though she didn't drink much water anymore. She had been told to observe her tongue more often, and she knew that teeth marks were a sign of dampness, and she thought that as long as she didn't drink too much water, she wouldn't be damp. She thinks that dampness is just a result of drinking too much water.

Tongue coating is only one of the aspects of manifestation. People with heavy dampness also gain weight. Before I learned Chinese medicine, I spent more than ten years to prove that all weight loss methods are ineffective for myself. Because I found that as long as the body does not change, lose weight will still rebound, this is the body wet problem. If you feel your muscles are weak and swollen and bubbly, not so firm, then this is not robust, it is a manifestation of dampness staying in the middle jiao.

A lot of people with dampness don't like to drink water. Because the spleen and stomach are not strong enough to metabolize too much water, coupled with the fact that there is already a lot of Dampness in the body that is not being metabolized, they will be less likely to love drinking water. On the flip side, if someone feels too bony, they are also less likely to drink water to make themselves fuller.

If wet isn't water, what the hell is it?

Wet should be sticky. Like gravy.

For example, if there is a child or an adult who has been coughing, phlegm-dampness must be there all the time. And if it's not dealt with properly at the beginning, phlegm-dampness will make the body decline, and if the body declines, there's more of a chance that phlegm-dampness will easily develop, so a lot of coughs that are hard to resolve are related to this. There are also problems such as skin diseases, chronic recurrent eczema, hives, dermatitis, allergies, which are also very much related to dampness. Because of the sticky property of dampness, dampness creates obstructions between the internal organs, reduces the body's entire qi and blood circulation, reduces the body's vitality, and reduces the body's ability to deal with problems.

For example, a cold that would have cleared up in two or three days will take a long time for a body with heavy dampness.

There is also the fact that as people age, the function of the spleen and stomach gradually declines, and greasy middle age follows, which is also a manifestation of dampness .

Dampness is an obstacle to the movement of the internal organs.

If you find that the tongue is fat, it means that there is water dampness in the body, and when the tongue is fat, teeth marks will be formed, and the deeper the teeth marks are, the heavier the dampness is. When I first came into contact with Chinese medicine, there was a period of time when I took a mirror and looked at my tongue in order to see if I was wet. I also often look at other people's tongues.

Changes in the tongue synchronize with changes within the body. In addition to the teeth marks, there are also signs of wetness in the form of a watery, shiny tongue, as if it has just been rinsed, and a greasy tongue, as if the tongue has been coated with mashed potatoes. If we use potatoes to make mashed potatoes, it may still be dry, but with the addition of water, it is easier to mix, to observe the degree of wetness is to observe the water content of the tongue coating.

Wetness is aggravated after eating something you can't digest.After going down to the restaurant to eat heavy oil dishes and eating too much fruit, if the food if not successfully transformed and absorbed, it will turn into garbage, and this garbage will be blocked inside the body and turn into wetness.

Sleeping late can also aggravate wetness.Some people say that when you watch the World Cup at night you will notice that your hands and feet are more swollen. Once I went to look at my tongue in the mirror at 11:20 p.m., and it was completely different from the tongue at 10 p.m. or so. Yang qi needs to be astringent when not astringent, the spleen and stomach's ability to work and efficiency is greatly reduced, the metabolism is not metabolized, dampness arises. If you are exposed to wind-cold you will also bring dampness, and going to the bath too late, or taking a bath for too long will also produce additional dampness.

These are external reasons:Cold, cool, icy, raw, sweet, oily, greasy, humid conditions on rainy days.

And the more important reason is intrinsic: such as exertion and depression.

When there is more inner peace, a rain shower and a bowl of ginger soup will solve it. But if it's a depressing time to go for a rain shower, then a bowl of ginger soup won't solve it. When the inner problem is still there, the outer conditions can easily trigger the situation.

I remember one time when I was cleaning all day long, and after cleaning, Beach collapsed on the sofa and looked at my tongue, and it was very, very wet. Labor that exceeds the body's load will make the fluid deficient, and the power of one's spleen and stomach decreases, and if one happens to have a body that is prone to dampness, this is the time for dampness to be born. There was another time when I was sulking. When I saw myself clenching my fists at that time, it seemed that I clenched my fists only when I felt cold, and clenching my fists would make me warmer. Bad emotions make the body cold, and cold and dampness always go hand in hand; this is the relationship between emotions and dampness.

There's also the fact that you're born with a weak spleen and stomachI have friends who often share why some people's children don't accumulate food even when they eat vegetarian. Some friends often share that why some people's children don't accumulate food even though they eat a lot of food, while we still accumulate food, develop eczema and have enlarged adenoids even though we are vegetarians. In fact, we can stretch the horizon to see, for example, how is the child's parent's life habits, how is the physical condition? Has the child been treated incorrectly since birth? How long has there been a heavy dietary burden? How long have there been recurring colds? How are mom and dad's emotions? How is the child's mood? In this way, you can see that the high and low abilities of the spleen and stomach are really formed by accumulating little by little.

What is the trouble with wetness?When there is a lot of dampness, people will feel sleepy, drowsy, have greasy hair, have eczema on the skin, have sticky stools, or cough with phlegm, or often feel phlegm in the throat, and some people will be puffy and swollen, and when they press on the skin, there will be indentations on the skin. Children with heavy dampness will drool, have loose stools, have a poor appetite, cough easily, and have enlarged adenoids. If there is more cold garbage inside the dampness, then there will also be dampness and heat, such as certain foot fungus and gynecological diseases.

But. It's no big deal.Because one side dehumidifies and the other side creates moisture. We are always dry.

Trying to get rid of dampness completely is a bit difficult for modern people. The way of Chinese medicine is to use herbs to improve the ability of the spleen and stomach a little bit, drain off a little damp. But the more common situation is that after a period of conditioning, and then began to be very wet, then you need to reflect on their own lifestyle, the body can not be changed in a day or two, you need to make long-term efforts on a daily basis.

And the fluid is like a lubricant, it is what helps the organs and qi and blood to move.

One of the main forms of fluid is tissue fluid, which can ooze out of capillaries into tissue fluid. The formation of fluid comes mainly from food and water. When food and water enter the body, after being successfully absorbed by the body, they can be converted into fluid. Fluid is processed water, which can be associated with a pure water processing plant, the production of fluid needs to go through the process of digestion and absorption, which also requires the consumption of energy.

And when the body needs it, the fluid can also be turned into blood, or vaporized into a kind of qi to propel the movement of the internal organs, such as to help urination and bowel movement, or from blood to fluid again, recycling. How much fluid the human body can produce has a lot to do with the function of the spleen and stomach. There are many signs of insufficient fluid, for example, if a mother says her child's hair stands on end, we know that the hair is dry, and the fluid can't reach the hair, so the hair will be dry, which means that the spleen and stomach's ability to produce fluid is insufficient.

The fluids will moisturize all the organs of our body:The body that does not lack fluids has moist and elastic skin that is not greasy, stools that are organized and shaped, dark and shiny hair, clear and watery eyes, smooth urination, smooth perspiration, no body odors, no insomnia, and no aches and pains.

It can be said that the fluids are nourishing the activities of our lives.

And what does fluid have to do with dampness?

When there is enough fluid, there will not be much dampness.When there is a lot of dampness, there is definitely a deficiency of fluid. Behind this is the problem of the ability of the Spleen and Stomach to produce fluid. When the Spleen and Stomach can produce more fluid, the entire internal organs, the vital movement of Qi and Blood, will form a good cycle of metabolism. Dampness is then easily metabolized.

The spleen and stomach are like a cooking machine, if there is enough lubrication, the operation process will be fast and smooth, and the food will be easily processed into what we need. On the other hand, if there is not enough lubricant, the machine is stuck in operation and not enough power, then the food may be processed with a lot of residue, and the residue, in turn, will interfere with the operation of the cooking machine.

So for dehumidification, the most important thing is not to eat red beans and barley, but to know which configuration your body is.Adults and children alike, the ability of the spleen and stomach will gradually improve as long as they are able to put less burden on the body, which is something we can usually do and with definite results.

So we need to know ourselves, what we can eat, what we can't eat, how much we can digest, when we should sleep, how much work we can do, to what extent we can work hard, whether we want to compare ourselves with others, whether we want to win anything, and how much our body can withstand. In the food and entertainment work hard to "almost got, normal a little" this state to ask themselves, do not force themselves, this is very important.

Avoiding the creation of more dampness is itself a process of dehumidification and one that can improve your health.

The topic of dampness and heat is of great concern to the general public, and in the course of daily medical treatment, many patients will ask about dampness and heat, and some patients will tell the doctor bluntly that they are "dampness and heat".

But how do you tell when it's hot and humid? This still needs a little skill. And treatment to get rid of dampness and heat, but also to grasp the origin of dampness and heat, to be able to really solve the problem, today we will talk about this topic.

The source of dampness and heat, there are several aspects of the main, the first is the influence of the climate, such as the southern climate is humid and hot, but also easy to affect the human body; there is also a dietary influences, such as long-term over-eating greasy, sweet and thick flavors, overeating leads to indigestion, the cumulative effect of time, leading to the formation of gastrointestinal dampness and heat.

There is another reason is also more major, also most people will be ignored, is the body's yang deficiency, spleen and stomach deficiency, this easily lead to the spleen and stomach of the transport function is impaired, the formation of gastrointestinal stagnation of cold and damp phenomenon, stagnation and the transformation of heat, the formation of a kind of spleen and stomach cold and spleen and stomach damp-heat phenomenon; this phenomenon, there will be the following manifestations, that is, the shape of the body is afraid of the cold, the body is obese, dyspepsia and Easily bloating and diarrhea, but there are also related manifestations of dampness and heat, such as easy acne, skin eczema, dry mouth, bitter mouth, halitosis, tongue coating white and sometimes yellow, above this is the formation of the phenomenon of spleen and stomach deficiency and dampness and heat, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold is the source, dampness and heat is the result.

In the treatment of medication, if some climate-induced dampness and heat, or overeating, fat, sweet, thick and greasy caused by short-term dampness and heat, the general use of heat-clearing and dampness-expelling methods of treatment will be more effective, and relatively easy to solve; and the phenomenon of mixed phenomena of deficiencies and realities, Yang deficiency of the spleen and stomach, and mixed with the dampness and heat, the treatment of medication must be some trade-offs, and is also more important to the doctor's skills and skills of the medicine, warming the yang to strengthen the spleen and at the same time can not be too dry and hot. Dry and hot, clearing heat and dampness at the same time, but not to hurt the spleen and stomach, injury to yang, need to weigh the degree of the patient's degree of deficiency and solidity of the degree of cold and heat of the degree of severity, the use of medication with discretion in order to get the effect, to find a professional Chinese medicine doctor, and there is no fixed prescription.

First of all, we need to understand what is damp-heat body, damp-heat body and phlegm-damp body There is a difference between the two, many people will be confused, this is because, both will have the existence of "wet". The difference is that the phlegm-damp physique "gathers dampness into phlegm" and has no heat, whereas the damp-heat physique "transforms heat from yang" and has both dampness and heat at the same time.
