First of all, let's understand the characteristics of the two types of wet constitutions. One type of constitution is internal dampness. People with internal dampness have excessive dampness in their bodies, which often manifests as symptoms such as a full abdomen, poor stool, and thick tongue coating. People with this kind of constitution are best to choose some traditional Chinese medicine that clears away heat and dampness, strengthens the spleen and dispels dampness, such as commonly used coix seeds, poria cocos and other medicinal materials, which can help the human body remove dampness.
Another type of constitution is external dampness. People with external dampness are susceptible to the invasion of dampness, which often manifests as symptoms such as heavy limbs, discomfort, and easy fatigue. People with this kind of physique are best to choose some traditional Chinese medicine to dispel wind and cold, chase dampness and relieve pain, such as commonly used herbs such as Angelica dahurica, Chuanxiong and other medicinal materials, which can help the human body dispel dampness.
In addition to the conditioning methods of traditional Chinese medicine, there are also some ancient and modern prescriptions that are also very effective. For example, the classic prescription "Wenzhong Soup" is a good way to treat heavy dampness. This recipe is compiled by Chen Xu and made with dried ginger, aconite, poria cocos, atractylodes and other traditional Chinese medicines. Taking this formula can warm and strengthen the spleen, dispel dampness and remove phlegm, and is a good choice for people with internal dampness.
In addition, we can also alleviate the problem of heavy moisture through some small conditioning in our daily life. For example, in terms of diet, we should eat less raw, cold, and greasy foods, and eat more light and easy-to-digest foods, such as vegetables and fruits. In addition, moderate exercise is also important to help us perspire and dispel moisture.
To sum up, for the case of heavy dampness, we first need to accurately distinguish the type of wet constitution, and then choose the corresponding Chinese medicine or prescription for conditioning, and pay attention to the regulation of diet and exercise. As long as we can regulate it in a scientific and reasonable way, then the problem of heavy humidity can be solved with half the effort.
