The effective treatment of gastrointestinal damp-heat is exercise sweating, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus helping to expel dampness. For people who don't want to exercise, they can have diet therapy, such as taking medicine and eating homologous food. For example, Chinese herbal medicines for clearing away heat and eliminating dampness include Pogostemon cablin, Perillae stem, Atractylodes macrocephala, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, etc. And the well-known coix seed red bean porridge can also relieve symptoms.

Diet therapy is not as effective as exercise therapy. Sweating during exercise can give you motivation and help to get rid of damp heat. However, in this process, we should also pay attention to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and get rid of factors that induce damp heat, such as smoking, drinking, staying up late and eating greasy food. In short, patients with gastrointestinal damp-heat should actively exercise and sweat, take drugs to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, actively adjust their living and eating habits, and remove the factors that cause damp-heat.
