In TCM theory, dampness refers to a pathological product in the body, and excessive dampness can affect human health, such as causing symptoms such as heaviness, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Therefore, dehumidification has become an important part of maintaining good health. Here are seven tips to get rid of dampness in your body, which you can bookmark and learn and practice together.
1.Adjust your diet: Diet is an important factor in regulating moisture in the body. We should reduce the consumption of greasy, cold, sweet and other foods that are easy to produce moisture, and increase the consumption of foods with dampness, such as red adzuki beans, mung beans, barley, pumpkin, etc. These foods help boost metabolism and reduce dampness in the body.
2.Increase your physical activity: Moderate exercise can help your body flush out excess water and moisture. For example, jogging, yoga, tai chi, etc., are all good options. Exercise also strengthens the body, improves immunity, and helps to defend against moisture.
3.Get a good night's sleep: Getting enough sleep is essential for regulating moisture in your body. It is recommended to maintain 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep every night and avoid staying up late. A good night's sleep helps the body's natural repair and detoxification.
4.Proper sun exposure: UV rays from sunlight have a germicidal effect and can help reduce moisture in the body. Get plenty of sun every day, especially in the morning and evening when the sun is mild.
5.Keep your living environment dry: A humid living environment can aggravate moisture in your body. Therefore, the home should be kept dry and ventilated, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms. Indoor humidity can be reduced by using a dehumidifier or opening windows for ventilation.
6.Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that some traditional Chinese medicine has a good dampness effect. Under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner, appropriate Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning. For example, Poria cocos, Ze Yuan, Atractylodes macrocephalus, etc. are commonly used dampness herbs.
7.Acupressure: The meridian theory of TCM believes that massaging specific acupuncture points can help remove moisture from the body. For example, acupuncture points such as Sanyinjiao, Zusanli, and Taixi all have a dampness-relieving effect. Acupressure can be performed by self-massage or by a professional TCM practitioner.
Through the above seven small methods, we can effectively remove moisture from the body and maintain the health and vitality of the body. It should be noted that everyone's constitution is different, and the method of dehumidification should also vary from person to person.
