In modern times, many people go to see Chinese medicine and are told that "wet weight", and almost most people will drink barley and red beans to dispel dampness.
What I share with you below is where the "wetness" we often say comes from and several key acupuncture points to dispel dampness.
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 Sichuan, where people will be uncomfortable if they don't eat chili peppers. 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, all three symptoms are related to temper.
"Wet weight" is the standard, and "spleen deficiency" is the standard
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 are more yang deficiency "wet and heavy" 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.
Children who love to sleep may be "wet heavy"
Many children are very well-behaved and love to sleep, which is also likely to be trapped by dampness. The reason why these children are wet and heavy may first be that the child's congenital spleen and stomach are not very strong, and when they are fed, parents may not notice it and hurt 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.
The typical symptom of being hit by dampness is that the body always feels tired, but this fatigue is not because of any soreness, if it is sore, it may be that you have a blood deficiency problem.
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, and 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.

Dispel dampness and strengthen the spleen, push and rub the "spleen line"
The following is a simple and easy way to share with you that you can detoxify at home. As long as you often push the three yin and yin lingquan, the damp poison will run out.
The method is: start from the three yin intersection points to the Yinling Spring acupoint to push (push to make up), and then push along the bone edge to the Yinling Spring acupoint, and push repeatedly. In the process of pushing, find a pain point or a subcutaneous blockage with a pimple, and slowly knead it open, without sticking to the acupuncture points.
Push it until it doesn't hurt, and then the "spleen meridian pipeline" is opened.
Once the spleen meridian is cleared, the excess water will be drained smoothly. The spleen meridian is used to drain dampness through the bladder, so after insisting on pushing for a period of time, you will feel more urine, which is the manifestation of dampness.
The Sanyin Jiao acupoint is the intersection of the three Yin meridians, which can mobilize the qi and blood of the liver, spleen, and kidney to smooth the spleen meridian.
