Dampness is one of the common diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to the invasion of internal or external dampness, blocking the qi and causing the symptoms of spleen deficiency and dampness. Spleen deficiency is the root cause of dampness, the spleen is not healthy, and it cannot transport water and dampness, which leads to the accumulation of dampness inside and outside, causing a series of diseases. Therefore, dampness must first replenish the spleen and stomach to improve the health ability of the spleen and stomach, and then it can get rid of dampness. This article will introduce three ways to dispel dampness and replenish the spleen to help patients recover their health.
The first method is traditional Chinese medicine**. Traditional Chinese medicine is the preferred method of traditional Chinese medicine for wet weight, because traditional Chinese medicine has the functions of dispelling wind, dehumidifying and dissipating dampness. Herbs such as sea breeze vine, atractylodes, and cohosh can dispel dampness, dredge the meridians, and improve blood circulation, thereby reducing the symptoms of dampness. At the same time, herbs such as aconite, poria cocos, and ginseng can nourish the spleen and stomach, improve its digestion and absorption capacity, increase yang energy in the body, and improve the symptoms of spleen deficiency. The wet weight of traditional Chinese medicine needs to be individualized according to the specific situation of the patient, and it is best to use it under the guidance of an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner.
The second method is dietary therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wet weight is related to incompatible diet and overeating cold and damp things. Therefore, by adjusting the diet structure and choosing foods that are easy to digest, you can improve the function of the spleen and stomach and reduce the symptoms of wet weight. For example, you can eat more warm foods, such as ginger, green onions, garlic, etc., to help the spleen and stomach digest dampness. In addition, you should also avoid eating cold and damp things, such as raw and cold food, too greasy food, etc. Dietary therapy needs to be combined with individual physique and condition, and follow the principle of appropriate amount and variety to achieve the best effect.
The third method is exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dampness likes dampness and does not like dryness, so proper exercise can increase the body's yang energy and help eliminate dampness. Common exercises suitable for dampness removal include tai chi, qigong, yoga, etc., which can improve the operation of the qi, accelerate metabolism, and promote the discharge of dampness from the body. In addition, moderate aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking and jogging, can also promote the body's metabolism and help to expel dampness. Exercise should be selected according to the individual's physique and ability to avoid excessive exercise causing damage to the spleen and stomach.
To sum up, wet weight is the standard, and spleen deficiency is the standard. Dispelling dampness and replenishing the spleen is the key measure of dampness. Traditional Chinese medicine**, dietary therapy and exercise are the three commonly used methods. According to the specific situation of the patient, these methods can be used comprehensively to achieve the effect of removing dampness and nourishing the spleen and stomach. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to developing good living habits, avoiding overeating cold and damp things, and maintaining emotional stability to maintain a healthy balance of the body.
