First of all, for patients with severe dampness in the body, there will be edema and edema in the body, obvious edema and drooping in the bags under the eyes, irregular stools, and even loose sugar or constipation.
When you look in the mirror, you will find that the tongue coating is thick and greasy, and the edge of the tongue is like a sawtooth. Every day, you feel tired and weak, listless, sleepy and sleepy, and sometimes you will have dry mouth, bitter mouth and bad breath, greasy hair and even hair loss, and then you will have too much phlegm, cough and a dull throat.
Finally, there are people who have long spots and acne on their faces, shiny faces and greasy skin, all of which are manifestations of dampness in the body.
So compare these manifestations, do you have dampness in your body?
First of all, it has something to do with the eating habits in our daily life. For example, eating too much fat, sweet and greasy food, drinking too much, or eating too much cold drinks and cold food will all cause the phenomenon of dampness in the body.
In addition, it is also related to our own living environment. If the living environment is too humid and sultry, it will easily lead to the formation of dampness in the body. Finally, dampness in the body has a very important relationship with the spleen in our body.
First of all, the spleen governs transport and can disperse the water dampness in the body. If the spleen is deficient, the transport and transformation of water will be reduced, and the water dampness will stop into dampness, and the water dampness will also converge into phlegm. Finally, the phenomenon of edema of limbs and edema of face will also appear when they gather on the face of limbs.
First of all, pay attention to eating some light food in the diet, refuse fat and thick food, pay more attention to exercise and rest, try not to stay up late, and go out for a walk to bask in the sun.
In addition, invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness plays a very important role in dampness edema caused by spleen deficiency. We can take some drugs that promote diuresis and eliminate dampness, such as red bean and barley porridge.
There are moxibustion methods in Chinese medicine. Moxibustion is a kind of warm therapy, which can just get rid of dampness in the body. Moxibustion on some specific parts has a very significant effect on dampness.
First, spleen Shu
The point 1 1 below the spinous process of the thoracic vertebra, which is opened by the side 1.5 inch, is this point.
Of course, first of all, moxibustion at Spleen Shu points is necessary for spleen deficiency, which can not only strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, but also improve the feeling of edema caused by water-dampness stagnation and discomfort caused by spleen deficiency, and the water will be transported, then the symptoms of water-dampness stagnation will be alleviated and the pathogenic dampness will be treated.
Second, moisture
On the anterolateral midline of the upper abdomen, the middle and upper umbilicus 1 inch is this point.
Moxibustion, as the name implies, can promote the metabolism of water and liquid, and it is a very effective and important acupoint for treating edema. In this treatment, it is the role of eliminating dampness and promoting diuresis to reduce swelling, improving the feeling of calf muscle fullness, and also improving the phenomenon of facial edema and edema.
Iii. Waterways
This point is 3 inches in the middle and lower umbilicus of the lower abdomen and 2 inches from the anterior midline.
Because of the phlegm dampness in the body caused by spleen deficiency, a lot of water can't flow out of the human body, so moxibustion at this acupoint can effectively dissolve the phlegm dampness in the body and make the water in the body flow out of the body, then the symptoms of phlegm dampness will be alleviated. (In plain language, some words may not be appropriate enough)
Fourth, Zusanli
At the moment of the anterolateral external knee of the calf, the four horizontal fingers under the calf nose point are this point.
Zusanli is a very effective acupuncture point for strengthening the spleen and stomach, which can dry the spleen and stomach moisture, improve the edema phenomenon mentioned above, and strengthen the body. It is a very important acupuncture point for human health care.
V. Water springs
On the inside of the foot, below the back of the medial malleolus, at the point directly below Taixi 1 across the finger, it is this point that feels sore when pressed.
Combined with water point, waterway point and three points, it has a good effect of promoting urination, promoting diuresis and infiltrating dampness.
Moxibustion method is about 30 minutes each time, and the appropriate number of moxibustion is selected according to the individual's physical condition. It is not suitable to take a bath after moxibustion, but to take a bath every other day.
After several times of moxibustion, you will obviously feel that your sleep has improved and your mental state will be much better.
Finally, in terms of eating habits, we should pay attention to eating less greasy and spicy food and paying more attention to strengthening physical exercise, so as to keep fit and ensure good health.
