What are the symptoms of damp heat?

Question 1: What are the symptoms of damp heat? How to treat damp-heat syndrome? Although it follows the basic law of eliminating dampness and clearing heat, it is either effective or ineffective in clinic. This is because many doctors do not pay attention to the pathogenesis evolution of damp-heat syndrome and ignore the syndrome differentiation and classification of diseases and syndromes. Damp-heat syndrome can be roughly divided into four types: heavy dampness and light heat, heavy dampness and light heat, and both damp and heat. The choice of prescription and medicine is obviously different with different syndrome types. Below, the author points out the treatment principles and methods of three types of damp-heat syndrome as follows:

First, wet weight is light.

Symptoms: no or low body heat, heavy head and limbs, chest tightness and fullness, loss of appetite, abdominal distension and bowel sounds, even nausea and vomiting, pale mouth or thirst, yellow urine, thin stool, red tongue, white and thick tongue coating, and slow or slippery pulse.

Pathogenesis: low humidity in the house, hard work in the water, sweating like the wind, wet clothes wrapped around the body, damp evil external evil; Deficiency of lung qi, deficiency of kidney yang, spleen deficiency, unfavorable transportation and gasification of triple energizer, resulting in excessive water and dampness. The gradual transformation of dampness into heat is the syndrome that heat is accumulated in dampness, and heat is light and wet. Dampness is yin evil, so there is no body heat or no body heat; Damp stagnation, internal resistance of dampness and turbidity, and poor qi movement, so symptoms such as heavy head and light limbs, chest tightness and fullness are seen; Dampness and turbidity will in turn hinder the spleen and stomach, so the spleen and stomach are abnormal, so anorexia, abdominal distension and bowel sounds, even nausea and vomiting, light mouth or thirst, yellow urine and thin stool appear; The tongue is reddish, the tongue coating is thick and greasy, and the pulse is slow or slippery. It is also a sign that summer is light and wet.

Treatment: light infiltration and diuresis, aromatic turbidity and heat clearing.

Prescription: Sanren Decoction or Chen Yin Wuling Powder.

Second, pay equal attention to damp heat.

Symptoms: mental fatigue, heavy head and body fatigue, chest tightness and fullness, dull pain in both ribs, waist swelling, nausea and vomiting, anorexia in the stomach, thirst or aversion to hot drinks, fever and sweating, short and yellow urine, thin and sticky stool, red tongue, yellow and greasy tongue coating and slippery pulse.

Pathogenesis: it is not early to clear dampness, but it will suppress heat for a long time and internalize it. The internal heat turns full, so the urine is less Huang Chi, and the fever is getting higher, but it does not disappear with sweat; Thirst is the cause of excessive heat, but dampness hinders it, so although thirsty, I don't want to drink more; Nausea and vomiting, chest tightness and fullness, anorexia in the stomach, etc. , are the causes of damp-heat stagnation in the spleen and stomach; The stool is sticky, yellow as sauce, and sticky to the large intestine due to damp heat; Damp-heat pounding, adverse waist collateral, so waist swelling and pain, accompanied by heat; Red tongue, yellow greasy tongue coating, slippery pulse, etc. It is a manifestation of both damp and heat.

Treatment should pay attention to two points:

First, the stool of this syndrome is sticky, yellow as sauce, and wet heat binds the large intestine, which is completely different from the treatment of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Doctors must not think it is diarrhea. They should treat it wrongly by stopping diarrhea, and treat it by regulating qi and eliminating dampness, purging heat and dredging fu organs until the stool is not sticky and shapeless. The main points of distinguishing this syndrome from spleen-stomach deficiency-cold type stool are: this syndrome is bound to be sticky and uncomfortable, that is, it is difficult to discharge stool, often accompanied by burning sensation, bitter mouth and dry mouth, red tongue, yellow and greasy tongue coating and slippery pulse. The stools with deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach have no sticky feeling, and most of them have symptoms of deficiency and decline of middle yang, such as pale mouth, no thirst, pale face, cold limbs, incomplete granules, pale tongue, thin and white fur, weak and late pulse, etc.

Second, although the method of regulating qi and eliminating dampness, purging heat and dredging fu-organs is used to treat damp-heat constipation, in clinical application, the method of "light method and frequent use" is mainly adopted, and Shi Zhi Daozhi Decoction, which is light in prescription and light in medicine, is selected to revise the popular Treatise on Febrile Diseases. The dosage of each medicine in this prescription is very small. This is because damp and heat stagnate in the gastrointestinal tract, and it is difficult to take effect at one time. It needs to be taken several times in a row, so you can't take a large dose at once, but take it slowly for several times with a light dose, which is the so-called "frequency light method".

Components of Fuzhi Daozhi Decoction:

Raw rhubarb (washed with wine), areca nut, magnolia bark, forsythia suspense each 5g, coptis root 2g, Akebia stem 3g, immature bitter orange 6g, Massa Medicata Fermentata, Arnebia euchroma, hawthorn each10g, and raw licorice root 2g.

Formula 1: In the formula, rhubarb purges heat and clears the bowels, magnolia officinalis, immature bitter orange and areca nut dispel dampness, hawthorn meat and medicated leaven help digestion, guide stagnation and reconcile; Coptidis Rhizoma, Fructus Forsythiae and Radix Arnebiae are used for clearing away heat and toxic materials; Aristolochia manshuriensis can clear away heat and promote diuresis, and induce urinary dampness and heat.

Third, heat is heavy and wet is light.

Symptoms: fever, sweating, thirst, nausea and vomiting, anorexia, bilateral pain, dizziness, upset and palpitation, or chest tightness and shortness of breath, abdominal distension, short and red urine, dry stool, red tongue, yellow and thick tongue coating and slippery pulse.

Pathogenesis: in the long summer, damp-heat fumigation invades the human body, competing with dampness; Eating too much, drinking too much, brewing damp heat; The body is full of yang, or there is latent fire, feeling damp evil, depressed but not reaching, accumulating damp heat; Yang deficiency and dampness are abundant in the body, or they are infected with epidemic poison, or the five senses turn into fire, and dampness suppresses heat, or they take warm and dry drugs by mistake, which makes the heat poison more abundant and reach blood, and the dampness evil is not removed for a long time and generates heat; In the case of abuse >>

Question 2: What are the symptoms of damp heat in the body? People may be attacked by damp heat. When moisture invades the upper energizer, it is difficult to cough or get up early. Dampness belongs to yin, heat to yang, and yin and yang are a pair of contradictions. When cold and heat coexist, damp heat constitution will appear. Is the damp heat in the body.

Common symptoms are listlessness, heavy head and body fatigue, chest tightness and fullness, dull pain in both ribs, waist swelling and pain, nausea and vomiting, anorexia in the stomach, thirst, aversion to hot drinks, fever and excessive sweating, short and yellow urine, sticky stool, red tongue, yellow and greasy tongue coating and slippery pulse. Honeysuckle has a great effect on damp-heat symptoms in the body. Women often have abnormal leucorrhea.

Question 3: How is damp heat constitution's daily life? Damp heat constitution's performance is similar to "phlegm-turbid constitution". Damp heat constitution should be the most recognizable in appearance, marked by greasy face and acne. We call it "acne pie". People in damp heat constitution always have glossy faces and nose tips, which are prone to acne and itchy skin. I often feel bitter mouth, bad breath or peculiar smell in my mouth, sticky stool and yellow urine. Women are often yellow and men's scrotum is often wet and sweaty. People in damp heat constitution are impatient. Some people think that acne is not necessarily a bad thing, indicating that they are still young and have the ability to grow acne. In fact, the body is too hot and humid, and there is no "ventilation" inside, so it has to be squeezed out as acne. Don't think that washing your face with soap and wiping nothing on your face can make these "oil acne" disappear, because the root of these acne is in the body, and people with this constitution often prefer to eat spicy food. The heavier you eat, the more acne you get. Typical case One morning, I saw two women with similar conditions, both about 40 years old. One of them is recurrent oral ulcer, 17, which is not intermittent, so serious that it is difficult to go to work. Patients from grandpa to father, plus her and her daughter, have suffered from oral ulcers for four generations. Usually upset, irritable, shallow sleep and dreamy. After examination, esophageal ulcer was found and the tongue was red, yellow and greasy. The other one has red pimples all over his face, and his oral ulcer is uninterrupted, because some parts fester repeatedly, forming scars, and there are ulcer surfaces outside. She said that going to a western medicine hospital requires separate treatment of stomatology, dermatology and gynecology, which is really too much trouble. In my opinion, it's all damp heat constitution's fault! Clearing the damp and heat will be completely solved, and such thin branches are not needed. Physical analysis damp heat constitution has excess moisture and heat in his body, which stick together, just like oil and bread, cementing and lingering; Just like a sauna day in summer, it is hot and humid, which makes people very uncomfortable; It is also like a haystack wet by heavy rain, basking in the sun. Not only the humidity is high, but also the temperature is high. This is "damp heat". After a long time, the hot and humid fumigation in the haystack will give off an unpleasant smell. The same is true for people who are damp and hot in the body, especially in the long summer, affected by the external climate, the internal environment is unclean, damp and hot, and the excretion is not smooth, which is reflected in the greasy skin outside, especially the forehead and nose tip are always shiny, leading to seborrheic alopecia, acne, dry mouth and bad breath, sticky stool, yellow urine and big taste. It always gives people a feeling of uncleanness and refreshment. These people generally lack patience. Damp heat constitution is closely related to the global environment. Climate warming, the improvement of people's living standards, gluttony of fat, sweet and greasy fast food, love of alcohol and tobacco, abuse of supplements, coupled with excessive competitive pressure and fast-paced life, make damp heat a common physique. Of course, congenital endowment is self-evident. The first one in a typical case is that four generations of a family have oral ulcers. This constitution, which tends to accumulate damp and heat, is easily passed on to the next generation. Experts prescribe Sanren decoction. The principle of conditioning the body is to clear away dampness and heat. The way to recuperate health is 1. The general principle is that food should be spicy and warm, summer should be wet and exercise intensity should be high. 2. Avoid living in low-lying and humid places, and the living environment should be dry and ventilated. Don't stay up late and don't be too tired. In the hot and humid summer season, reduce outdoor activities time. Keep adequate and regular sleep.

Question 4: What are the symptoms of damp heat constitution? People in damp heat constitution are like being fumigated in a haystack, which will produce an unpleasant smell after a long time. Especially in summer, because of the weather, people in damp heat constitution are unclean and wet. If the excretion is not smooth, the skin outside the body surface will be greasy, especially the forehead and nose tip of the face will always shine, which is prone to seborrheic alopecia, acne, acne, bad breath, sticky stool and yellow urine. Generally speaking, people feel unclean, and people with this type of constitution are impatient. People in damp heat constitution are very discerning in appearance, often called acne pie, and their constitutions are very similar to phlegm pie. Many people will think that acne is actually not a bad thing, indicating that they are still young. But in fact, many people's acne is actually caused by damp heat constitution. They are too hot and humid, and their bodies are not ventilated, so they can only get pimples out. Note that such people can't use soap to wash their faces and don't eat spicy food in their diet. In addition to the above-mentioned physical characteristics, people in damp heat constitution often feel dry mouth and bitter taste, as well as red tongue, yellow greasy tongue coating and red eyes. The scrotum is easy to get wet in men, and the leucorrhea and slippery pulse in women with damp-heat quality. It is difficult for people in damp heat constitution to adapt to the humid or hot environment, especially in late summer and early autumn, and the alternation of damp and heat is even more uncomfortable.
