What's wrong with the body?

The body's heavy dampness generally comes from two sources, one external and one internal.

The former comes from the external humid air, humid environment, around the humidity will enter the human body, such as the coastal areas of the people in the body are relatively heavy.

In addition, dampness also comes from their own spleen deficiency.

If the spleen and stomach are weak, then the absorption and digestion of the food eaten will be affected, and the undigested food will accumulate in the body to form humidity.

Therefore, in Chinese medicine, there is a deficiency in the spleen to produce dampness, and dampness once serious in turn will aggravate the weakness of the spleen and stomach, becoming a vicious circle.

Dampness heavy people, the body of these 5 manifestations and others are different

Dampness heavy people in the short term can also get a significant weight gain, and the performance of lower limb swelling edema.

02 Lack of energy

When a usually vigorous person in a period of time, suddenly showed a lack of energy and spirit of the state, if there is no other disease trouble, then it is very likely that dampness in the "blame".

The main performance of heavy limbs, mental fatigue, general weakness.

03 Tongue thick

If a person is too much moisture in the body, then the tongue will be white, and you will feel the tongue thicker.

The reason for this situation is due to the impaired function of the stomach and intestines lead to water and dampness stagnation in the body for a long time, aggravating the body's dampness.

04 Facial oil easily

The human skin type is roughly divided into dry skin and oily skin, the difference between the two points is the amount of oil on the face.

The latter is a more oily skin type. Over a period of time, people who have increased the amount of oil on their face, even dry skin begins to become prone to oil.

Generally speaking, people who are more humid will have oily face and hair easily.

05 Unshapely stool

If your stool is unshapely and sticky, it means that the dampness in your body is heavy.

Chinese medicine said that the moisture: can be divided into internal and external wet two kinds of 1, external moisture: mainly caused by external influences: due to fog dew rain. The location of the humidity and get. 2. internal dampness is from dietary disorders, from the viscera and born. Because of good wine and tea. Overeating cold fruits and vegetables. Drinks. Sweet and greasy food. So that the spleen Yang does not transport, wet from within.

Dampness is a theoretical concept of Chinese medicine, dampness is like water, for the Yin evil. It is easy to hurt the Yang Qi. Dampness is sticky, such as loose stool, sticky, or white mucus, the disease is long, lingering difficult to heal, such as wet paralysis, eczema and other diseases. Dampness is a disease, there are different from the external sensation, there are different from the body itself, that is, there is internal dampness, external dampness. External dampness is due to the weather rain and dew, where the water is wet, sweat stained clothing three factors.

Internal dampness is caused by diet, wine and cheese, spleen and kidney deficiency and two factors. Therefore, the external wet disease with the climate and environment, or spleen and stomach, susceptible to external wet, but each with the wind, cold, heat and three gas for the disease. Starting more from the surface of the body invasion, gradually and skin, flesh, sinews and bones, deep to the internal organs. The internal wet as a pathological product, the cause of its diet, wine and cheese, tiredness and internal injuries and other factors, but pathologically speaking, all the viscera self-generated, i.e., visceral blood loss, is the root cause of internal wet.

The production of moisture and the external climate and their own native some of the habits related to the weather in the south is more humid, some people live in the first floor or the area of the river and lake for a long time, it is easy to produce moisture; and secondly, eat more beer, fruit, ice cream and other food containing more water can lead to the body of the moisture bias; there is moisture in the body of the people who are more head and body sleepy and heavy, want to sleep; or encountered a cloudy and rainy day, such as pain in the joints. This kind of person's tongue is fat and has teeth marks. Dampness is generally more difficult to get rid of, Chinese medicine is generally used to strengthen the spleen to get rid of dampness, usually can be used Poria, Job's tears in soup treatment.

Dampness is a theory unique to Chinese medicine, and it can't be explained by the theory of Western medicine. If you really use the Western medicine point of view, only barely generalized for the dampness stays in the human body will appear how the state, such as phlegm, edema, or loose stools, etc. are more than the performance of dampness!

Humidity in the human body, the main source of the outside world and their own, the outside world is mainly from the environment, such as affecting the human body to cause disease "six evils", which has moisture, the ancients believe that from the beginning of the summer to the summer heat, the six summer seasons, it is the season of humidity rampant, and therefore it is the time of the sun is hot in the sky, the surface of evaporation, the largest in the year, the human is the environment, the most important thing is that the environment, the human being is the most important thing, the human being is the environment. The largest in the year, people are the product of the environment, in such a season, naturally vulnerable to the erosion of the external evil of moisture.

There is also moisture, from themselves, as we all know: water in the human body occupies 60% of the body's weight, blood, snot, spinal cord, etc. which can not be separated from the water, which are collectively referred to in Chinese medicine as the "fluids", which are in the human body, which would have been to maintain an equilibrium value. But due to certain bad habits, or old age, resulting in spleen regulation disorder. So these fluids in the body to run slower, or simply stagnant. So the water in the body, there is an increase, then they are called "wet" in Chinese medicine!

That is to say, the fluid in the body to run slower or stagnant, we often say that the moisture, these human body moisture, the most likely to turn into phlegm, the ancients summarized that "the spleen is the source of phlegm".
