How moisture is produced:
1. Caused by diet: eating too much meat, eating contaminated food, less exercise, deficiency of yin and yang in the body, excessive dampness and internal stagnation, and abnormal bowel movements.
Why is there so little stool formation?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen deficiency can lead to loose stools. Chinese people should eat mainly whole grains and meat. Many people will feel weak if they don't eat meat for a day. If things go on like this, it will damage the spleen and stomach, and the spleen will be caused by dampness. Yes, if the spleen is injured, moisture cannot be completely transported and accumulated in the body.
Therefore, unformed stool indicates spleen deficiency and moisture in the body.
2. Environmental factors: Nowadays, people often stay up late, go to bed before going to bed, and take a bath before going to bed; when the human body sleeps, the pores are closed and moisture cannot be discharged from the body. Long-term accumulation of internal moisture will cause diseases.
Diseases caused by external dampness are often caused by patients being injured in fog, sweating on clothes, working in water, wading in rain, or living in humid places.
In addition, summer is the most prosperous season of the year. When the pores of the human body are open, sweating is the easiest way to expel cold and dampness.
However, many friends turn on the air conditioner and drink cold drinks, which forcibly prevents the discharge of cold air and moisture.
How to adjust moisture weight:
1. It is recommended to drink tea first. Drinking tea is a healthier and more convenient way to remove dampness. What kind of tea should you drink?
(1) Green tea
If the green tea itself is not fermented, the tea leaves will not be oxidized and the various substances of the fresh leaves can be retained to the greatest extent. Green tea contains a large amount of caffeine, tea polyphenols and other ingredients, which can be retained more comprehensively.
Therefore, if you drink green tea, it is more conducive to diuresis. For example, Dongting Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, Xinyang Maojian, Anji White Tea, etc. are all famous Chinese teas.
Green tea is cold in nature. For those with a cold constitution, you must pay attention or drink less. If a reaction occurs, stop drinking. Tea drinkers with a weak stomach should also pay attention to nourishing their stomach. If you feel unwell, drink less or no more.
For normal people, once their physical condition improves, they can consider drinking it with other teas, drinking green tea in the morning and other teas in the afternoon.
(2)Pu'er tea
Pu'er tea is divided into two types: raw tea and cooked tea. Raw tea is slightly cool in nature and can relieve internal heat, but is more irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, while cooked tea is relatively mild.
For people with heavy dampness in the body who want to remove dampness and nourish the stomach, light ripe Pu'er tea is a good choice.
(3) Oolong tea
Most people with heavy dampness have poor spleen and stomach functions, and some people have cold constitutions. At this time, please choose warm teas such as oolong tea, Dahongpao, and black tea to nourish the stomach.
The characteristics of these teas are that they have better tea qi, which can help circulate qi. Of course, no matter what kind of tea, it has a diuretic function.
Therefore, the dehumidification function is also quite good.
2. Soak your feet or take a bath with mugwort leaves: Traditional Chinese medicine is usually used to induce sweating and remove dampness.
3. Ginger juice for sweating: Sometimes when you are caught in the rain or have a cold, you can use hot ginger juice to dispel the moisture in the body and prevent colds. Ginger juice can effectively remove water from the body.
Ginger is warm in nature, can warm the meridians, dispel cold, strengthen the spleen and protect the stomach.
4. Traditional Chinese medicines for removing dampness: Traditional Chinese medicines for removing dampness include adzuki bean, white lentil, coix seed, kapok, gorgon fruit, Ligusticum chuanxiong, poria, lily, lotus seed, Amomum villosum, Faxia, etc.
Some people who like winter swimming make porridge with ginseng, coix seed, poria, lily, and adzuki beans and drink it every day. These traditional Chinese medicines can effectively remove dampness from the body and strengthen the spleen and stomach.
5. Sweating during exercise: Sweating during exercise is a good way to eliminate moisture. People with heavy humidity should not turn on air conditioners and fans too much in summer.

Balanced diet: usually have less salt, should be light, quit smoking and alcohol, avoid raw and cold food, iced drinks or raw and cold fruits and vegetables, such as lettuce, watermelon, Chinese cabbage, bitter melon, crab, eggplant, lotus root, cucumber, persimmon, pineapple, pear wait.
