As the saying goes, "nine out of ten people are damp." Nowadays, people more or less have the problem of excessive moisture. If a person has excessive moisture and it is not controlled for a long time, it will cause many diseases.

1. Spleen and stomach diseases

If there is heavy moisture, especially if cold dampness invades internally, it will cause a high incidence of spleen and stomach diseases. The main symptoms are: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and epigastric distension. , feeling of water accumulation, diarrhea, chest tightness, and pharyngeal obstruction.

2. Vaginal leucorrhea

Excessive moisture in the body can easily lead to spleen deficiency, which causes the moisture to accumulate, causing women to have excessive leucorrhea and odorous leucorrhea. In severe cases, they may also cause vaginal discharge. Can cause inflammation.

3. Obesity and edema

Moisture entering the subcutaneous layer will affect the metabolism of skin cells and reduce fat burning efficiency, thus leading to obesity. Excessive moisture remains in the body, which increases the burden on the spleen to transport moisture and transform it, just like an overloaded carriage. Sometimes it even affects the diuretic function of the kidneys, and in severe cases, it can lead to general edema.

4. Affects excretion

Excessive moisture will cause "moisture to stick to the intestines", increase the number of stools, and make the stool feel unclean. Traditional Chinese medicine says, "Moisture is like a wrap." Heavy moisture will affect the permeability between cells, just like a wet quilt covering a person's body, which will often make you feel heavy-headed and listless.

5. Affects sexual function

Exogenous dampness is mostly caused by humid climate and sitting or lying in wetlands. Internal dampness is mostly caused by a preference for cold drinks and a gluttony for cold foods such as raw and cold fruits, which damages the human body's yang energy. Moisture affects the function of kidney qi to spread and transform, causing water vapor to stagnate, causing hydronephrosis and affecting sexual function. These Chinese patent medicines have the effect of removing dampness.
