What food regulates qi, eliminates dampness and resolves phlegm?
Spleen-strengthening and dehumidification are mutual, and spleen-strengthening can dehumidify. Spleen governs transport and transformation, preferring dryness and aversion to dampness. If you are trapped by dampness, transportation will be abnormal, manifested as loose stool, abdominal distension, no appetite, rancidity and acid swallowing. Its pathogenesis is dampness trapping the spleen, so it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness. When spleen deficiency and dampness are abundant, we should strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, excrete excess water (diuresis) or reduce and remove substances that cause immune response, and warming the spleen and stomach is the best method to eliminate dampness. Humidity is often accompanied by "cold". Keep warm, don't catch a cold, and don't eat too cold food. 1. Spleen-invigorating foods such as crucian carp (spleen-invigorating, dehumidification), carrot (spleen-invigorating, cough-relieving and expectorant), apple (spleen-invigorating, breath-smoothing), yam (spleen-invigorating, cough-relieving), lotus seed (spleen-invigorating), solid (spleen-invigorating and dampness-removing), streaky pork (spleen and stomach), duck (heat-invigorating, phlegm-relieving and cough-relieving) and burdock
