Why do you keep being damp, let the old Chinese medicine doctor tell you!





Many people go to a Chinese medicine doctor and are told that "wet weight". So, where does wetness come from? Have you thought about it?


There are three factors for the presence of wetness


1. Because I ate too much greasy things, I couldn't digest them and accumulated into wetness;
2. Although I didn't eat much, my digestion ability was insufficient, and I would get tired of eating a little bit, and it would become wet;
3. There is also the influence of environmental and seasonal factors, such as the humidity of Guangdong, where people will be uncomfortable if they do not drink herbal tea. For example, in summer, many people will have dampness in their bodies, and their bodies will become very heavy and lazy.


In the final analysis, these three symptoms are related to the spleen, "wet weight" is the standard, and "spleen qi deficiency" is the foundation.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is responsible for functioning, and the elimination of any metabolites must rely on the power of the spleen. When the temper is weak, the dirt will be retained in the body.

What is dirty? It can be excess fat, or it can be abnormal secretions, excretions.


Fat people have more yang deficiency "wet weight"


Many fat people seem to be strong, but they are actually cold. Especially for people who have a lot of belly fat and a bigger and bigger swimming ring, they can't ignore the coldness of their physique.

If you touch this kind of fat person, their skin is generally cool. It is because their bodies themselves know that they lack yang energy, and instinctively increase fat to keep warm.

Just like in the past, when there was no refrigerator, people who sold popsicles in the summer would wrap their popsicles in a quilt to prevent heat dissipation.

The fat on the fat of the fat person also plays this role, so there is also the theory of "fat people have more yang deficiency, and thin people have more yin deficiency", which is often the fatter the more weak, and the more weak the fatter, the fatter the fatter, forming a vicious circle.

The correct way for fat people to lose weight should be to warm up the cold and damp, "warm" is to increase the ability to metabolize fat, and "cold and damp" refers to those fats that should not be accumulated in the body.



Beware of sleeping children who love to sleep are "wet heavy"


There is a colleague's child, who is very well-behaved and loves to sleep, which is also trapped by dampness. The reason why this child is wet and heavy is that the child's congenital spleen and stomach are not very strong, and when the child is fed, parents may not notice that they often give the child cold food to eat, which hurts his temper.

The spleen has the ability to digest food, absorb nutrients, and expel dross, and if this ability is reduced, the nutrients cannot be absorbed at the same time, and the dross cannot be discharged, and it will become wet if it remains in the body. With these wastes, the body naturally feels tired, so it is easy to get sleepy at a young age.

Typical symptoms of being hit by dampness are:


1. The body is heavy and heavy, and the head is also cloudy, although the head does not hurt, but it is not refreshing;

2. There will be eczema on the skin, the appetite is not good, I feel tasteless when I eat anything, and my mouth is sticky;

3. When the tongue sticks out, you will find that the tongue is very fat and light in color. If the symptoms are severe, there will be tooth marks on the side of the tongue, even like a child's small skirt, which is called "skirt tongue", which is a more serious spleen deficiency and dampness;

4. The body always feels tired, but this fatigue is not because of soreness, if it is sore, it may be that you have blood deficiency and blood does not nourish tendons.




Chengshan cave is a large cave to remove wetness


The Chengshan acupoint is in the middle of the back of the calf, between the middle of the calf and Kunlun, when the calf is straightened or the heel is raised, the gastrocnemius muscle appears in the abdomen and the sharp angle depression.


When you get up every morning, stretch your legs out of the bed so that the Chengshan acupoint rests on the edge of the bed, and swing your legs from side to side to massage the Chengshan acupoint.

According to the Chengshan acupoint, there will be obvious soreness and pain, this is because of the dampness in the body; After kneading Chengshan for a period of time, you will feel a slight heat in your body, which is the yang energy on the bladder meridian at work, and the dampness and evil in your body are escaping outward with the slightly raised body temperature.
