Why is it difficult to remove moisture

Dampness is a very common phenomenon in normal times, but most people think that dampness in the body is not a serious disease. In fact, this approach is wrong. Although dampness in the body will not cause too much harm to your health in a short time, it will cause serious chronic diseases over time. Although there are many ways to remove dampness in daily life, dampness is very difficult to remove.

Why is moisture so difficult to remove?

It is very difficult to remove dampness from the body and it is likely that the cause of the disease is not being treated.

When damp heat accumulates in the body, over time it will cause symptoms such as weakness in the limbs, laziness, loss of energy, poor appetite, dizziness, etc., which will damage one's image and may also lead to insomnia, dry mouth, bad breath, oral ulcers, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, constipation, short and red urine, and even rib pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cough, eczema, low back pain, athlete's foot, jaundice, nephritis, enteritis, cystitis, stranguria, as well as male spermatorrhea, impotence, abnormal leucorrhea, gynecological inflammation, etc.

The clinical symptoms induced by dampness and heat are diverse. We should do a good job in preventing dampness and heat, and detect and eliminate dampness and heat in the body as early as possible to prevent it from spreading and increasing in the body. Because when you are sick, it will be extremely difficult to get rid of dampness and heat.

Reason 1/Eating habits:

Improper diet can easily lead to accumulation of water and dampness

(1) Bad eating habits: eating without moderation, overeating, or often overeating or over-hungering can easily damage the spleen and stomach functions in the long run. When the spleen and stomach are damaged and cannot metabolize normally, excess water and moisture will accumulate in the body.

(2) Excessively cold food: Liking to eat raw, cold food, such as drinking too many cold drinks, consuming iced fruits, and eating too much raw food in the summer, can also damage the yang energy of the spleen and stomach, leading to cold and dampness in the body.

(3) Like to eat greasy, sweet, heavy-flavored and other fatty and sweet foods: Usually, greasy, difficult to digest and overly sweet foods can easily cause gastrointestinal burden, hinder gastrointestinal function, and cause the body to produce phlegm and dampness. In addition, eating too salty or heavy-tasting food can easily cause water to accumulate in the body, leading to problems such as edema.

Improvement methods:

(1) Eat appropriate amount of diuretic foods: Diuretic foods are those that allow moisture to be eliminated through urine. Diuretic foods in daily diet include: mung beans, red beans, coix seeds, lotus roots, winter melons, etc.; Chinese medicinal materials such as plantain seeds, plantain, Imperata roots, lotus leaves, etc. can be boiled into tea for drinking.

(2) Foods and herbs that regulate the spleen and stomach: They can improve dampness caused by weak spleen and stomach, such as basil, Poria cocos, and yam.

(3) Gorgon Fruit and Coix Seed Tea: Gorgon Fruit and Coix Seed Tea is the most commonly consumed tea in Guangdong and Guangxi regions that strengthens the spleen and removes dampness. It is sold online and contains Gorgon Fruit, Coix Seed, Adzuki Bean and other ingredients. Gorgon Fruit strengthens the spleen, while Coix Seed and Adzuki Bean remove dampness. Strengthening the spleen and removing dampness at the same time has a better effect and is less likely to recur.

Reason 2/Lifestyle habits:

Many modern people do little exercise, which can easily lead to the accumulation of moisture. Long-term lack of exercise or overwork and lack of rest can easily lead to qi deficiency, which affects the body's ability to metabolize moisture.

Improvement methods:

Do more exercise: Proper sweating through exercise can help eliminate moisture from the body. In addition, exercise can boost energy and increase the body's yang energy, which can also help eliminate moisture.

Reason 3/Environment:

Traditional Chinese medicine talks about the generation of dampness, which can be divided into internal dampness and external dampness. External dampness refers to the invasion of external dampness into the human body, such as getting caught in the rain, a humid environment during the rainy season, or a living environment that is too humid. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a humid external environment will cause the human body to produce moisture, and it may even become entangled with the moisture in the body, causing more symptoms. In clinical practice, we have also encountered patients who have to go in and out of freezers for a long time during work and thus develop cold and dampness symptoms.

Improvement methods:

Avoid a living environment that is too humid, dehumidify regularly, keep bedding dry, and expose it to the sun regularly; in addition, sleeping on a cold floor can easily damage the body's yang energy and aggravate cold and dampness.
