Where does moisture come from and how to remove it?

Lao Pang believes that there are six main factors that cause moisture: the moisture that is eaten, the moisture that is drunk, the moisture that is sitting out, the moisture that is busy, and the moisture that is cured by treatment.

1. The water you eat eats all kinds of foods with high protein, high calorie and high fat, which leads to a serious nutritional imbalance. Most of these foods have the characteristics of high heat or high humidity. After ingestion, the internal environment is hot and humid in summer, and the moisture will come quietly.

Food has five flavors: pungent, sweet, sour, bitter and salty, but overeating will form moisture. Such as spicy, such as onion, ginger, pepper, fennel, have the effect of adding fire or moistening dryness; Sweets will increase the body's heat energy; Acidic food can cause digestive dysfunction and spleen and stomach dysfunction. Form moisture.

2, drink too much water: moderate drinking is good for the body, but modern people drink too much. No matter what kind of wine, it contains moisture and heat. There is little difference in the water content of liquor, and the water content of beer, red wine and yellow wine is greater than the heat. Long-term drinking, moisture formation.

Excessive drinking water: the method of drinking boiled water for health care is gradually widely known, but not everyone is suitable. Drinking a certain amount of boiled water every day without thirst will also cause damage to the spleen and stomach, and some people will form moisture.

3, sedentary moisture Modern people lack exercise, take the car instead of walking, the body function is seriously degraded, the whole body is weak in qi and blood, and the function of viscera is reduced, resulting in abnormal spleen function and abnormal metabolism of water in the body, leading to dampness in the stomach and gradually forming moisture.

4, tired and wet, fast-paced life, fierce competition, great pressure to survive, and tight work, often day and night, upside down in the morning and evening. No matter what occupation, few people are not tired. Physical overdraft, not timely repair. The result is spleen deficiency and weak stomach. Coupled with improper diet, moisture is formed.

5. Blindly replenish the moisture after curing. Most nourishing foods and drugs are damp and hot, which leads to the imbalance of yin and yang in the body being broken, and moisture will take advantage of it.

Blindly clearing away heat: most people take it for granted that internal fire needs clearing away heat, so they take a lot of heat-clearing drugs, including going to the hospital for intravenous drip and so on. However, I don't know that all antipyretic drugs and antibiotics are cold things. Long-term use will destroy the balance of yin and yang in the body, make the yang lose and form moisture.

The following old pang teaches you several simple and effective ways to get rid of dampness.

1, sweating by exercise is a good way to get rid of dampness. It is the most natural and effective way to let the wet poison in the body radiate directly in the form of sweat through exercise. The more motionless, the more water accumulated in the body.

2. Dietotherapy removes moisture from the body. In fact, there are many foods that we often eat that can play a role. Such as purslane, mushroom, bitter gourd, yam, white lentil, coix seed, adzuki bean, etc.

3. Soaking feet Soaking feet In order to be healthy regardless of seasons, feet are the origin of many important meridians of the human body. Soaking feet can maintain the balance of the human body by promoting the self-regulation of meridians, which has a certain effect on dehumidification.

4. Cupping therapy Cupping therapy is a common method of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. This therapy can dispel cold and dampness, dredge meridians, promote qi and blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain.

5. Avoid a humid environment, often in a humid and cold environment, which can easily lead to moisture invading the body. People with heavy moisture should pay attention to their usual living habits: don't sleep directly on the floor, the floor is heavy with moisture; Don't wear wet clothes; Dry your hair after washing it.

"Ten people are nine wet", and the humidity has seriously troubled many people. People with heavy humidity often have poor appetite, puffiness, greasy head and face, and are prone to spots and acne, lethargy and fatigue, which seriously affects their normal work and life. How does the moisture come from and how to let it out?

Let's see how the moisture comes first. Wet and turbid, greasy and stagnant, the disease is easy to linger and relapse. In the long summer (from hot summer to autumnal equinox), moisture is the main qi. At this time, the weather is hot and the water vapor is transpiration, which is the highest humidity season in a year. At this time, most people feel damp evil, but it can also happen in other seasons. Dampness can be divided into external dampness and internal dampness, which are generally caused by exposure to fog and dew, long-term living in wet places, long-term wading in the rain or working in water, poor protection and lack of exercise. Generally speaking, eating too much leads to coldness or drinking too much, which makes the spleen lose its health, and the water can't disperse normally, which leads to dampness and stagnation, which is due to internal dampness.

External dampness is closely related to the season and living environment. It is often manifested as severe pain in the head and body, pain often stays in one place, weakness of limbs, and unfavorable flexion and extension of joints. For the prevention of external humidity, pay attention to keep the living environment dry, clean and ventilated, avoid wading, often participate in physical exercise, and increase the divergence of sweat. Exogenous rheumatism, headache, heavy head and general pain can be treated with drugs, such as Notopterygium Shi Sheng Decoction and Maxing Yigan Decoction.

"All dampness and swelling belong to the spleen." For internal dampness, strengthening the spleen should be the main method. Usually, we should avoid eating raw and cold food, eat less fatty food, don't drink too much, keep a good mood, and eat more foods such as Poria cocos and Coix seed that can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. Drugs for regulating internal dampness should be selected, such as Wei Ping Powder, Shen Ling Baizhu Powder and Gui Ling Shugan Decoction.

Moisture in human body can be divided into internal dampness, external dampness, rheumatism, cold dampness and damp heat because of its different causes. When conditioning, we should judge it according to the season, living environment, eating habits, symptoms and other factors, and then treat it according to syndrome differentiation to get good results.

First of all, understand the six qi, wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire.

Secondly, the human body has six evils, also called six evils, wind evil, cold evil, summer evil, wet evil, dryness evil and fire evil.

Third, the spleen governs water dampness and spleen deficiency, which leads to water dampness and human body dampness.

Finally, how to eliminate dampness is mainly to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.

Chinese patent medicines include Shen Lingjian Spleen and Stomach Granules and Shen Ling Baizhu Pills.

Dietotherapy can use yam, coix seed, poria cocos, red bean and so on to cook porridge, which can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness after long-term use.

What exactly is moisture?

Moisture is an abstract concept.

There are times when the human body is wet, but that is only the appearance. The most basic thing is to know what causes heavy moisture.

How to dehumidify and listen to the sounds of nature?

Now people all know that humidity is heavy, so where does it come from and how to get rid of it?

What is wet and what are its characteristics? Humidity is a unique term in traditional Chinese medicine.

There are four seasons in a year, each with its own characteristics. It is windy in spring, hot in summer, hot and humid in summer, dry in autumn and cold in winter. Long summer is the dog days, and moisture is the main gas of long summer. This wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire are the normal qi of heaven and earth, so it is called six qi.

However, people will get sick because of these six climates, such as feeling cold, wind and heat, heatstroke and so on. At this time, it is called six evils. Wet is one of the six evils.

The natural characteristics of wet are wet, sticky, heavy and turbid, and downward.

The nature and pathogenic characteristics of dampness: dampness is yin evil, which hinders qi movement, easily injures Yang Qi, and is heavy and sticky.

Humidity is much like water. Water, drinking, dampness, phlegm and water are all yin evils, so they are all yin evils.

Let's think about whether it's all sticky in the dog days, such as spitting, is it sticky? Leucorrhea, it is difficult to go to the toilet to flush the stool. These all give people a sticky characteristic.

After taking a nap, I feel heavy and sour all over, and my head is groggy and heavy. This is a sign of high humidity.

Don't think about diet and bloating. It is dampness that blocks the movement of qi, so it shows the characteristics of dampness.

Lower extremity edema, joint diseases, dampness as yin evil, this is the characteristic of dampness falling.

Dampness includes endogenous dampness and exogenous dampness, which are influenced by external humidity and make people sick. For example, living in a dark and humid working environment is easy to make people sick, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Endogenous dampness refers to the damage of spleen due to overeating and cold, and the decline of spleen function, which causes water in the body to be stored in the body, causing edema, diarrhea, phlegm and so on. Dampness can be divided into damp-heat and cold-dampness, and damp-heat is caused by being suppressed together for a long time. Cold and dampness are caused by overeating and cold.

How to eliminate dampness and treat dampness is not good for urination? Poria cocos and lotus leaves. Poria cocos, cassia twig and ginger. Qi deficiency of spleen and stomach, dried tangerine peel. Removing dampness and promoting qi circulation, Magnolia officinalis. Amomum villosum strengthens the spleen and eliminates dampness.

Ramulus Cinnamomi, Poria cocos, Fructus Amomi, Lotus Leaf, Ginger, Magnolia Officinalis and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae can be soaked in water or boiled as medicine, which is actually medicine. If it is damp and hot, cassia twig is replaced by coptis root.

If you soak your feet with the above medicine, it should also have the effect of eliminating dampness, but no one has tried it.

How to prevent the wet and evil working environment, the living environment must be far away from the dark and humid environment.

Pay attention to your diet and don't eat cold food.

More exercise makes the blood in the body work.

Moisture can be divided into "external humidity" and "internal humidity".

In traditional Chinese medicine, any external pathogen that is heavy, sticky and downward is called damp pathogen. Dampness is harmful and pathogenic, which is dampness evil.

Damp pathogen causes diseases, mostly in summer, but it can occur in all seasons. Especially at the turn of summer and autumn, the sunshine is still hot, the rain is abundant, the steam is steaming, and the humidity is full, which is the wettest season of the year. The disease syndrome caused by dampness is called exterior dampness syndrome. External humidity is mostly a sense of humidity generated in humid climate, wading in the rain, living in humid places, working in water and other environments.

Besides the external dampness mentioned above, endogenous dampness is also called "internal dampness". It refers to the pathogenesis changes of dampness stagnation and turbidity caused by spleen-qi transport and imbalance of body fluid. Because endogenous dampness is mostly caused by spleen deficiency, it is also called "spleen deficiency and dampness".

Generally, the formation of internal dampness is mostly due to excessive diet, thick greasy diet, excessive eating and cold, internal injury to the spleen and stomach, which leads to the spleen losing its healthy transport, unable to carry its body fluids for the stomach, or obesity, which leads to unfavorable qi movement, blocked transport of body fluids and accumulation of dampness.

Therefore, the loss of spleen health is the key to endogenous dampness. Su Wenzhi's Theory of Truth says: "All dampness and distension belong to the spleen".

In addition, the main transport and transformation of spleen depends on the warm gasification of kidney yang. Therefore, internal dampness is not only caused by itchy skin and insufficient body fluid, but also inevitably affects the transport and transformation of spleen when kidney-yang deficiency fails, resulting in turbid endogenous. Dampness and turbidity can accumulate into phlegm, stay for drinking, and accumulate into water, becoming various patients.

So how do you get rid of moisture?

First of all, the external environment must avoid "external humidity". Keep the living and working environment dry and avoid wading and getting wet. Like when I was in Chengdu before, people there liked to eat spicy food because of the natural and humid environment. This is also through diet adjustment, helping moisture to dissipate and reducing accumulation in the body.

Diet is indispensable, which is a major cause of endogenous dampness. We usually try to eat as little high fat and sweets as possible. And now it's dog days, and many people like to eat cold drinks to cool off the heat. As everyone knows, this actually hurts the spleen and stomach, leading to poor transport of water and liquid and breeding internal dampness.

Finally, proper aerobic exercise every day can also help us get rid of moisture. Nowadays, people have air conditioning in their home and company every day, go out to drive, and rarely do outdoor sports. Therefore, insisting on aerobic exercise can help us promote blood circulation and expel moisture from the body.

External wetness and internal wetness can interact. Whenever dampness attacks the spleen, the spleen loses its healthy movement and internal dampness breeds. The body with spleen deficiency and dampness is also easy to get sick due to exogenous dampness.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a traditional medicine in China with a long history of several thousand years. The theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine is yin-yang and five elements, which pay attention to the balance of yin and yang.

Moisture is actually a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, but there is no such word in western medicine. There has been a lot of publicity about humidity in recent years, and there are also many dehumidification products on the market. In order to let everyone know more about moisture, I will share some related knowledge.

1. Where does the moisture come from? Chinese medicine pays more attention to the balance of yin and yang. The main sources of moisture are humidity, eating too much meat, all kinds of pollution, and reduced exercise. Too much moisture will cause a balance between yin and yang, which will naturally lead to some diseases.

Thousands of years of farming civilization doomed us China people to be more suitable to eat vegetarian food, that is, whole grains. But now with the improvement of people's living standards, many people no longer take these grains as their staple food, but choose meat, and many people even have no meat to eat. But eating meat for a long time will increase the damage to the spleen and stomach. The function of the spleen is to help eliminate moisture. If the spleen is not good, natural moisture will accumulate in the body.

Compared with the north, the air humidity in the south is higher, which leads to an increase in humidity. Why do you say that? Mainly because those southerners, such as Sichuan and Hunan, prefer spicy food. The purpose of doing this is not only because it is spicy and delicious, but also because it can effectively remove water.

2. How to remove moisture? Before answering this question, I think we should first diagnose whether we are wet or not. Judging whether the humidity is heavy is mainly based on some symptoms. A typical symptom of heavy moisture is loose stools, which, as the name implies, means sticky stools or unformed stools. Most of these people will have stools sticking to the toilet. If it is not easy to observe, you can also look at the number of papers you use for defecation. Generally 1~2 sheets of paper are enough, but not enough for loose stool patients.

Another manifestation of high humidity is that it is easy to feel tired. In fact, I am also a patient with heavy humidity, and I personally have the above symptoms. 10 I feel very tired and sleepy every day. In addition, you can also judge the moisture by looking at the tongue coating. This kind of people's tongue coating is thick and greasy, and some people have teeth marks. In addition, people with heavy moisture have poor digestive function, so they may feel full after eating a little.

If you want to get rid of moisture, you must first try to get rid of some bad habits. Common bad habits include staying up late, drinking, smoking, eating too much fish, being in a humid environment, and having a strong taste. Because wet weight has a great relationship with poor spleen, dehumidification is mainly to improve the function of spleen. At present, the commonly used treatment schemes include eating red beans and barley, which can be made into tea or porridge. Drug treatment is mainly Chinese patent medicine, mainly Jianpi pills. Of course, you can also find a special Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe a prescription for eliminating dampness. It should be noted here that Jianpi Pill is a Chinese patent medicine. At present, the contraindications and adverse reactions are not clear, and pharmacists should be consulted before taking the medicine.

It is not easy to do it by hand. If you think what you write can be praised and paid attention to. If you have any questions, you can leave a message below ... Chinese medicine says that the spleen is responsible for the operation, and the elimination of any metabolites depends on the power of temper. When you are weak-tempered, dirty things will stay in your body. What's a dirty thing? It can be excess fat or abnormal secretions and excretions.

Fat people have more yang deficiency and are "wet". Many fat people look strong, but they are cold. Especially those who have more fat on their bellies and larger swimming rings, we can't ignore the coldness of their constitutions. If you come into contact with such fat people, their skin is usually cold. It is because their bodies know that their yang is insufficient and instinctively increase fat to keep warm.

Just like when there was no refrigerator in the past, people who sold popsicles in summer would wrap them in quilts to prevent heat dissipation. Fat on fat people also plays this role, so there is a theory that "fat people have more yang deficiency and thin people have more yin deficiency", which is often that the fatter they get, the fatter they get, forming a vicious circle.

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

Moisture is the product of poor metabolism of water and liquid in the body. The sources of moisture can be divided into external moisture and internal moisture. The main differences are as follows: 1. External moisture, because fishermen who live in wetlands for a long time, such as those living in water towns and coastal areas, get caught in the rain or wading, and external moisture is immersed. Air conditioning is turned on in summer and heating is turned on in winter. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, so the sweat on the skin surface cannot be released as usual, and the muscle surface is wetted and then immersed in the body. Second, internal dampness is closely related to spleen deficiency. The spleen and stomach are injured because of greed for cold and drinking cold, and the spleen is not transported, but gathers in dampness. Cold and dampness soak the spleen, eat spicy and greasy food, and drink too much, so that the stomach can't decompose and digest, and the spleen can't transport and excrete metabolic waste, which leads to prolonged dampness and heat. Excessive fatigue and gas consumption lead to qi deficiency, and wastes in the body cannot be metabolized to form moisture, with little activity, slow metabolism and endogenous moisture. There are two methods I use: one is dietotherapy: the dehumidified foods are cherry, cantaloupe, broad bean, pea, poria cocos, coix seed, red bean, soybean, carp, snail, snakehead, shepherd's purse, cress and so on. Dietotherapy is only adjuvant therapy, and its effect is slow; You need to take it for a long time to get better results. Second, stick to moxibustion all the year round. If conditions are good, you can go to the Moxibustion Hall to ask a doctor for help, or you can use moxibustion box to moxibustion yourself at home. Another point is not to eat cold food. I haven't eaten cold drinks and watermelons for years!

There are tens of thousands of doctors certified by Chinese medicine to answer this question.

As the saying goes, "If moisture is not removed, there will be endless troubles." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that moisture is the bane of modern people's health, and it is also the source and accomplice of most chronic diseases, which has also aroused many people's curiosity, just like the subject's question "Where does moisture come from and how to get rid of it?"

Let's analyze the source of moisture and the ways to get rid of it from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.

Where does the moisture come from? Moisture is the main gas in long summer, which is cloudy, heavy and sticky, and is the product of water-liquid metabolism and operation. Moisture can be divided into internal moisture and external moisture, and their causes are different.

1. Internal humidity

Unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits, such as staying up late for a long time, lack of exercise, drinking a lot, often eating cold or drinking cold drinks, and eating excessively, may be the important reasons for internal dampness.

In particular, some people prefer to eat heavy and greasy food, which cannot be digested, leading to weakness of the spleen and stomach and endogenous moisture.

2. External dampness

"External dampness" means exogenous dampness. This moisture is mainly affected by the season and regional environment.

The four solar terms, Daxia, beginning of autumn, Chushu and Bailu, are at the turn of summer and autumn. These periods are often hot and rainy, and the humidity in the air is very high, so it is easy for people to get exogenous dampness.

Why do you get wet? 1. Always exercise outdoors and sweat more when exercising.

Reduce the time in the air-conditioned room, often do outdoor sports, bask in the sun and sweat. Sweating is a way for the body to run qi and blood and expel moisture. Exercise and sweating are beneficial to smooth qi circulation, accelerate water-liquid metabolism and moisture discharge.

It should be noted that after sweating a lot, you should pay attention to supplementing water, and exercise and sweating should be moderate.

2. Have a light diet and avoid cold and cold.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "all dampness is spleen", in the final analysis, dampness is related to spleen deficiency, which is the standard and the foundation.

Light diet can reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach, and add some spicy foods or condiments (such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, cardamom, Amomum villosum, etc. When cooking, it helps to circulate qi and dissipate moisture in the body.

"Yang Qi" in traditional Chinese medicine has the function of controlling water and dampness. Eating cold or drinking cold drinks often hurts spleen yang, which will lead to more and more moisture.

3. Avoid humid environment and blow less air conditioners.

In daily life, don't sleep on the floor, get wet in the rain, wear wet clothes, go out when the rain clears and the humidity steams people, and blow less air conditioners.

Summer is hot, which leads to skin catharsis, lung governing fur, pores opening, sweating, and lung qi causing body fluid to flow out. If the air conditioner is turned on at this time, the sweat can't be discharged, and there is no place to drink the water, it will hurt the yang of the lungs, and the water will be wet if it can't be transported.

4. Acupuncture and massage, cupping and scraping

Acupuncture: health-care acupoints that can be pressed or moxibustion to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, such as Chengshan, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan.

Moxibustion therapy is a common method of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of relieving depression and eliminating dampness, tonifying Yang Qi, and is especially suitable for eliminating dampness.

Scraping: It can scrape the upper 1/3 of the human back, that is, the shoulder and back area, and increase the activity of capillaries, which is more conducive to heat dissipation and dehumidification.

The source of moisture and the way to get rid of it are shared with you in the above topic. Welcome to share your opinions in the comments section.
