Main methods of eliminating dampness:
1, diet for eliminating dampness toxin
The best ingredients for removing dampness are Coicis Semen and Semen Phaseoli (better than red beans). We recommend a prescription for removing dampness and toxic substances in traditional Chinese medicine. After drying Coicis Semen, Semen Phaseoli, Lophatherum gracile, Portulaca oleracea, Sophora japonica, Euryale Semen and green tea, boil it in water and drink it as tea. Drinking one or two cups of Coicis Semen tea every day can remove dampness and detoxify, whiten and lighten spots, and it is effective for heavy moisture, beriberi and eczema. At present, there are finished coix seed tea in the market, which saves the trouble of self-making, but we should be optimistic about the ingredient list, and the effect of single coix seed in eliminating dampness is not so good.
2. Eliminating dampness and toxin in life
Acupoint * * *: Kneading Chengshan point, Yinlingquan point and Sanyinjiao point at ordinary times has certain dampness removing effect.
Exercise and perspiration: Moderate exercise can enhance physical fitness, improve the body's disease resistance, help digestion and promote the circulation of qi and blood, thus preventing the generation of endogenous moisture.
Avoid catching cold: eat less cold drinks at ordinary times, change clothes in time after getting wet, and blow dry immediately after washing your hair. Keep warm in cold weather to prevent cold from entering your body.
Question 2: What should I do if the humidity is too high 1. How can I judge whether my body is wet?
1. Hair loves to give out oil. 2. Face is shiny. 3. Leave saliva when sleeping (when the moisture is saturated, it will flow out by itself). 4. The defecation is sticky (not easy to wash off) and it is frequent. 5. Small belly, big belly, 6. Ear dampness (ear Zen dampness), 7. *** dampness.
2. How is wet formed?
① For example: going out with a shampoo in the morning, sleeping with a shampoo in the evening, taking a bath within 8 hours after scraping and cupping, bathing after sweating after habitual exercise, scraping and cupping in the bath, and so on.
There is an old saying: "A thousand cold is easy to get rid of, but a wet one is hard to get rid of. Wet and sticky, such as oil entering the surface. " Dampness and cold together are called cold dampness, heat together is called damp heat, wind together is called rheumatism, and summer heat together is summer heat dampness. No matter how much tonic and medicine you eat, it's like scratching your boots and beating a cow across the mountain. Many people suffer from fatty liver, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even malignant tumors. In fact, these diseases are all related to dampness and phlegm.
(2) [self-diagnosis method of whether there is dampness in the body]
When you get up-look at the feeling
If you feel particularly tired when you get up every morning, your hair is faint, you can't get up, or you are not refreshed like wearing wet clothes, and people are too lazy to move … then you can be sure that you are wet inside.
When going to the toilet-look at the stool
After the morning is convenient, you can observe the stool. Is it stuck to the toilet? A box of water can't be washed clean. If it is inconvenient to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. If it is normal, one or two pieces of paper will be enough. If three or five pieces of paper are wiped repeatedly, it will not be clean. (This is why the stool is asked on the consultation form.) It also shows that the body is wet. The color and shape of stool can also help to judge whether there is dampness in the body. Normal stool is golden banana-shaped, but few people have this kind of healthy stool now. When the body is wet, the stool is blue in color and soft and shapeless. (This is an important sign of spleen deficiency, which many people have) There is always a feeling of uncleanness. After a long time, the toxins produced by defecation remain in the body, and all diseases are serious.
When washing-look at the tongue coating
We usually start washing after going to the toilet. Before brushing our teeth, we might as well take a few seconds to look at our tongue in the mirror. "Tongue is the seedling of the heart, but also the symptom outside the spleen". Tongue can sensitively reflect our physical condition.
A healthy tongue is reddish and moist, with a layer of tongue coating, which is thin, white and quiet, moderately dry and wet, not slippery or dry. If the tongue can't reach these indexes, it means that there is something wrong with the body function. If the tongue coating is white and thick and looks smooth and moist, it means that there is cold in the body; If the tongue coating is rough or thick, yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; If the tongue is reddish with no moss, it means that the body is hot enough to hurt the yin.
In addition to the above three main points, there are two discrimination methods:
First, see if it's disgusting when you get up and brush your teeth in the morning. Many people say that they vomit and feel sick as soon as they brush their teeth, and there is always a feeling of being sloppy and unclean in their throat, even if they spit, it is only a little.
Second, get up in the morning and feel whether the calf is sour and heavy. These are also typical characteristics of dampness. By the way, a wonderful way to get rid of dampness is to massage Chengshan point.
Get rid of the moisture in the body, the method is very simple, only two "drugs" are needed. These two medicines can be used as tea and food, and they can solve big problems. They are barley and red beans. These two kinds of things, without any proportion, are grabbed one at a time, washed and boiled in a pot with water. After boiling, it is a good product for eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen-barley red bean porridge. ……
One advantage of the glutinous rice red bean porridge is that it won't be sticky and thick, and the red beans and glutinous rice are always rotten at the bottom, and the reddish soup is on the top, and most of the effective ingredients of glutinous rice and red beans are in the soup. When cooking porridge, put more water, and these soups will be enough for us to drink for half a day, just as tea …
Dampness is the root of all kinds of chronic and intractable diseases in modern times, and Coix seed and red bean soup is the best medicine to treat dampness. One of the best is to cook glutinous rice and red bean soup as tea. For patients who don't have this condition, I will let him cook porridge with barley and red beans as the staple food for dinner.
Never increase the rice in! Why? Because rice grows in water, it contains moisture and is wet and sticky, so rice thickens as soon as it is boiled. Both red beans and coix seed are moisture-removing, and they do not contain moisture, so they are not thick and the soup is very clear. Chinese medicine just uses its clear nature to get rid of the dampness of the human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding moisture, so the whole porridge is thick. Although the taste may be better, it is not good for health preservation, just because of that one ... > >
Question 3: Why does the human body have heavy moisture? What if moisture is important? Exercise can relieve stress, activate the operation of body organs and accelerate the excretion of moisture.
Modern people use their brains more, consume less physical strength, and wait for a long time in a closed air-conditioned room, rarely sweating, so the body's ability to regulate humidity becomes worse. Try running, walking, swimming, yoga, Tai Chi and any other exercise that "breathes a little and sweats", which will help activate blood circulation and enhance water metabolism.
The gastrointestinal system is closely related to nutrition and water metabolism, and the best way is to have a proper and balanced diet.
Oily foods such as wine, milk, fat and thick taste are not easy to digest, and it is easy to cause bloating and inflammation in the stomach. Sweets and fried products will make the body produce peroxide, which will aggravate the inflammatory reaction. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold food, ice products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate and should not be eaten without * * *. Such as lettuce salad, watermelon, Chinese cabbage, bitter gourd, etc., it is best to add onion and ginger in cooking to reduce the cold nature of vegetables.
In addition, it is best to reduce exposure to humid environment in daily life. Especially those who are sensitive to moisture should pay more attention to the following matters:
1. Don't sleep directly on the floor. The water in the air will drop and the floor is wet, which is easy to invade the body and cause limb pain. It is best to sleep in a bed at a certain distance from the floor.
2. Reduce going out in wet and rainy days.
Don't wear wet clothes.
4. Water intake should be moderate.
Question 4: What should I do if my body is too wet? I usually pay more attention to my diet and eat less cold and spicy food. Red beans and coix seed can effectively eliminate dampness, and can be boiled into porridge or fried and ground into powder for eating.
Question 5: The body moisture is too heavy, how to expel moisture toxins? Moisture is one of the six pathogenic factors of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, and it is the bane of health, the inducement and accomplice of many diseases.
The typical feature of moisture is sticky and turbid, so the stool is thin and difficult to wash away, which is the most obvious feature of heavy moisture.
Heavy moisture is not just a matter of causing the stool to be deformed, but the terrible thing is yet to come.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "moisture" can cause and worsen many diseases. Many people suffer from fatty liver, asthma, obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, allergic rhinitis, pharyngitis, gynecological diseases and even malignant tumors. In fact, these diseases are all related to dampness.
The harm of dampness to people is hidden and slow, and it infringes on people's health step by step. At first, it causes thick and greasy tongue coating, skin rash and acne, and when it is heavier, it is chest tightness, fatigue, sore throat and irregular stool. Further development, there will be joint pain and obesity; Over time, it will also cause fatty liver, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even malignant tumors.
Degree of wet toxicity:
Primary wet toxin: in the epidermis
Symptoms: itchy skin, eczema, greasy face and acne.
Secondary wet toxin: in muscle
Symptoms: acid, drowsiness, fatigue, fatigue, such as shoulder and neck hypertrophy, acid sleepiness, backache and fatigue.
Third-grade dampness toxin: in bone, that is, bone cold and dampness, commonly known as rheumatism.
Symptoms: scapulohumeral periarthritis, shoulder pain, cervical strain, low back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and joint pain in the weather.
Four-grade damp toxin: in viscera (uterus, ovary, spleen and stomach, lung)
Symptoms: weakness of spleen and stomach, constipation, excessive phlegm and gynecological inflammation.
Five-grade wet toxin: cut it long on the body (tumor), and cut it when it grows.
Moisture will also greatly affect a person's appearance, manifested in long spots and acne on the skin, dark yellow and dull; In terms of body shape, it is edema, obesity and paunchy; It will appear listless, sleepy and weak in spirit.
Humidity is very common, and nine people are wet. If you want to further accurately judge whether there is moisture in your body, please patiently finish the following six items:
1, the stool is thin and shapeless, and the urine excretion is not smooth. (There is something wrong with gastrointestinal excretion)
2, chest tightness, phlegm in throat (weak lungs).
3, sleepy, listless, how to sleep is not enough. Feel dizzy and sleepy. (indicating qi deficiency and yang deficiency)
4, weight increases year by year, obesity and edema. Thin people also have a small belly (indicating spleen deficiency, because spleen deficiency is the main cause of obesity).
5, bloating, stomach discomfort, eating more food will become food accumulation, paunchy (weak stomach)
6, functional decline, not interested in sexual intercourse, male impotence and premature ejaculation. (kidney deficiency)
Huangdi Neijing said: "All dampness and swelling belong to the spleen", and moisture will first cause spleen deficiency, because the human body is an organic whole, and after spleen deficiency, it will also cause stomach weakness, kidney deficiency, lung weakness, qi deficiency and gastrointestinal excretion problems, and the symptoms of moisture are precisely the reaction after the function of these important organs is weakened.
If you meet the criteria of 1-2 of dampness symptoms, you should get rid of dampness quickly. If you meet many criteria, it definitely means that you are suffering from health deterioration, so it is urgent to get rid of dampness. Otherwise, the difficult moisture will take away your beautiful life and make you covered in problems.
For example, because I usually stay up late, my diet is irregular, I like to eat cold drinks and hot pot beer, and I always sit at work and lack exercise. After working for several years, my feeling is that I meet every symptom of moisture.
The famous prescription for eliminating dampness recommended by old Chinese medicine practitioners is red bean and barley yam porridge, which is composed of six ingredients: red bean, barley (fried), yam, poria cocos, lotus seeds and Redmi.
Red bean and coix seed yam porridge is the most classic and effective prescription for eliminating moisture. Compared with red bean and coix seed rice flour, it has four more ingredients and the effect is much stronger:
1) Red beans, diuretic, detumescence, blood-enriching and skin-moistening.
2) Coix seed, often eaten to maintain skin luster, "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Spleen and stomach, lung and heat, wind and dampness".
3) Chinese yam: nourishing yin and tonifying kidney.
4) Poria cocos: it can not only strengthen the spleen, but also ooze dampness, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves. It has the effect of treating both the symptoms and root causes of diarrhea and leukorrhagia caused by spleen deficiency, and can be used as an adjuvant medicine for tonifying the lung and spleen and treating qi deficiency.
5) Lotus seeds: clearing the heart and invigorating the spleen, nourishing the middle energizer, invigorating the spleen and appetizing, stopping diarrhea and arresting ejaculation, and benefiting the kidney and stopping leukorrhagia.
6) Redmi: The effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipid can prevent colon cancer.
Precautions: When cooking porridge, it is necessary to stir-fry the ingredients in the recipe with slow fire for 15 minutes to remove the cold of the raw materials themselves, and then add water to cook together to achieve a good dehumidification effect. Moreover, it must be paired with lotus seeds and poria cocos. Later, it has been passed down to this day. Almost common people know to drink porridge with red beans, poria cocos, coix seed, yam and lotus seeds, but they don't know the origin of this recipe.
Later, with the increase of health knowledge, I made ... > >
Question 6: What should I do if the moisture in a man's body is too heavy? First, the performance of wet weight:
1, I always feel that my body is very heavy, and there will be a phenomenon that I am not refreshed all over, and my legs are not strong.
2, the face is shiny, and the pores are thick.
3. I found that my tongue coating was very thick when I was grooming in the morning.
4. Every time I go to the toilet, there is always a sticky stool, and the toilet can't be washed clean.
5, a period of obesity, and also the phenomenon of paunchy.
Second, the wet weight can be solved by the following methods:
1, exercise to remove sweat and dampness;
2, the diet should be less salt, light and appropriate;
3. Avoid humid environment;
4. Light the wormwood and bake it at Guanyuan point.
5. Quit smoking and drinking.
Third, eat more dampness-removing foods: 1, bitter gourd; 2, tomatoes; 3, leeks; 4. Celery; 5, mung beans; 6. Oats; 7. Carrots; 8. Chinese yam, 9, lotus root, 10, white radish, 1 1, white gourd, 12, white lentils, etc.
Fourth, dampness porridge soup: 1, glutinous rice red bean porridge; 2. Coix seed yam porridge; 3. Yam and winter melon soup; 4, crucian carp soup, 5, Poria porridge, 6, red bean porridge, etc.
Five, you can also take the Chinese patent medicine "Muxiang Shunqi Pill", according to the instructions. This medicine can eliminate dampness, strengthen the spleen and regulate the stomach.
Question 7: I am very wet. What should I do? Whether you say "moisture" is because the weather is hot and you are wet, or "moisture" in Chinese medicine terms, the two are not the same thing.
The moisture mentioned by Chinese medicine should have symptoms.
If you are not wet, look for a Chinese doctor! The doctor will comprehensively consider your pulse condition, tongue coating and your symptoms, and treat it according to syndrome differentiation.
Question 8: How to remove excessive moisture in the body …? 1 trick: The lazier you are, the more you should exercise.
Most people with heavy body moisture are people who eat greasy food and lack exercise. These people often feel heavy and their limbs are weak and unwilling to move, but the less they like sports, the more moisture accumulated in their bodies. Over time, it will inevitably lead to moisture invading the spleen and triggering a series of diseases.
Exercise can relieve stress, promote the operation of body organs and accelerate the excretion of moisture. Running, walking, swimming, yoga, Tai Chi and other sports are helpful to activate blood circulation and increase water metabolism. The second measure: light and moderate diet.
The gastrointestinal system is related to nutrition and water metabolism, and the best way is a moderate and balanced diet. Oily foods such as wine, milk, fat and thick taste are not easy to digest, and it is easy to cause bloating and inflammation in the stomach. Sweets and fried products will make the body produce peroxide, which will aggravate the inflammatory reaction.
Cold food, frozen products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate, so it is not appropriate to eat them often, such as lettuce, salad, watermelon, Chinese cabbage, bitter gourd, etc. It is best to add onions and ginger in cooking to reduce the cold nature of vegetables. Step 3: Avoid the moisture in the environment.
In addition to the problem of self-metabolism, a large part of the moisture produced in our body is related to the environment. Often in a humid and cold environment, it is easy to cause moisture to invade the body.
Pay attention to the following matters in daily life: 1. Don't sleep directly on the floor. The floor is wet and easy to invade the body, causing limb pain. 2. Reduce going out in wet and rainy days. 3. Don't wear wet clothes, don't cover with wet quilts, and fully dry your body and dry your hair after taking a shower. 4. If the humidity in the room is heavy, it is recommended to open more windows for ventilation. If the external humidity is also heavy, you can also turn on the fan and air conditioner to keep the air convection with these appliances. The fourth trick: barley porridge, yam soup.
To get rid of the moisture in the body, there are actually many foods that we often eat that can work. For example, coix seed is sweet and slightly cold, which is beneficial to water swelling, spleen dampness, muscle relaxation, heat clearing and pus discharge; Red beans are flat, sweet and sour, and have the effects of strengthening the spleen, stopping diarrhea, inducing diuresis and reducing swelling. When the barley and red beans are cooked with water, they can be used for diuresis, dehumidification and even beauty.
In addition, you can also choose red beans, Poria cocos, Dioscorea opposita, Codonopsis pilosula, etc., and put them into soup materials, or make porridge and boil water to drink, which can diuretic and dehumidify, especially for people with edema. It is worth noting that both methods have diuretic effects and are not suitable for people with excessive urine. The fifth trick: use onions, ginger and garlic skillfully.
Onion, ginger and garlic are not only common seasonings at home, but also have irreplaceable medicinal value. For example, we can try to cook a bowl of hot ginger soup at home, and use the wonderful effect of ginger soup to force out the moisture in the body. After sweating all over, the symptoms will be relieved. This method is also suitable for preventing colds after getting wet.
