Moisture is not well regulated?Traditional Chinese medicine distinguishes between these two types of constitutions, and the symptoms are twice as effective with half the effort
In the fast-paced modern life, many people suffer from excessive humidity.
Symptoms such as drowsiness, weakness in the limbs, and loss of appetite frequently occur, making people feel annoyed. However, in many cases, heavy dampness is not a simple physical problem, but is closely related to the physical characteristics of the individual. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that people's physique can be divided into two types: yang deficiency and yin deficiency, and the conditioning method of heavy dampness also needs to be targeted according to the different physiques.
1. Yang deficiency physique.
People with yang deficiency often feel symptoms such as physical weakness, cold hands and feet, and sensitivity to cold. This type of person has relatively weak body functions and a slower metabolism, so it is easy to accumulate moisture. For people with yang deficiency constitution, regulating dampness needs to focus on warming yang and dissipating cold, dispelling dampness and strengthening the spleen. In terms of diet, you can eat more warm foods, such as ginger, onions, garlic, hawthorn, etc., and reduce the intake of cold foods. In addition, moderate exercise also helps to increase metabolism and promote the expulsion of moisture.
2. Yin deficiency physique.
People with yin deficiency often experience symptoms such as dry mouth, hot hands and feet, and irritability.
This type of person has relatively strong physical functions and a fast metabolism, but is prone to dampness and heat. For people with yin deficiency constitution, the regulation of dampness needs to be based on nourishing yin and clearing heat, diluting dampness and discharging turbidity. In terms of diet, you can eat more cold foods, such as winter melon, bitter gourd, mung bean, etc., and reduce the intake of warm and dry foods. In addition, it is also very important to maintain a good mood, because mood swings can easily affect the body's endocrine and metabolism.
In addition to distinguishing the constitution for conditioning, TCM also emphasizes the concept of "curing the disease before it happens", that is, taking measures to prevent the disease before it occurs or is in the embryonic state. For the treatment of heavy dampness, TCM recommends that you can start from the following aspects:
1.Keep indoor air ventilated: Keeping indoor air fresh and dry by opening windows frequently for ventilation can help reduce moisture retention.
2.Pay attention to dietary conditioning: arrange your diet reasonably, eat less raw and cold food, and eat more warm and dry food, such as ginger, green onion, garlic, etc., which can play a role in strengthening the spleen and removing dampness.
3.Increase the amount of exercise: Proper exercise can promote the body's metabolism and blood circulation, which helps to expel moisture from the body.
4.Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning: If excessive dampness has affected daily life and work, Chinese medicine conditioning can be carried out under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner. Common Chinese medicines for dispelling dampness include Poria cocos, Atractylodes, Atractylodes, etc., which can be combined with other Chinese medicines**.
5.Emotion management: Maintaining a good mood and avoiding excessive mood swings helps to maintain the body's endocrine balance and normal metabolism.
In short, the conditioning of heavy humidity needs to be targeted according to the individual's physical characteristics.
