How to judge whether your body is wet? How to get rid of dampness

There is an old saying: "a thousand colds are easy to get rid of, but a wet cold is hard to get rid of." Wet and sticky, such as oil entering the surface. " The combination of dampness and cold is called cold dampness, heat is called damp heat, wind is called rheumatism, and summer is called summer dampness. No matter how much tonic you take, no matter how much medicine you take, you are also scratching your boots across the mountain to beat cattle. Many people suffer from fatty liver, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even malignant tumors. In fact, these diseases are related to dampness and phlegm. /kloc-more than 0/800 years ago, Zhang Zhongjing, a great doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in his book Treatise on Febrile Diseases: "People who are hot want clothes, but they are colder than bone marrow." In other words, a person with a fever, although his body temperature is very high, feels cold and wants to put on more clothes, which shows that the cold in his body is very heavy and the cold evil has penetrated into the bone marrow. At this time, using antibiotics and other cold medicines to diminish inflammation and reduce fever will directly bring some external cold and dampness into the body. Zhang Zhongjing is the author of Treatise on Febrile Diseases. In his time, people were hungry and cold, and diseases were mainly cold pathogens, which could be directly treated with hot drugs. Nowadays, with the change of living environment, simple typhoid fever is rare. On the contrary, external cold and internal heat are intertwined, forming damp evil. The real cold syndrome is rare, mainly damp evil. Dampness is yin evil, which inhibits Yang Qi and hinders qi movement. In other words, in the era of yang deficiency, dampness is at work. There is a strange phenomenon, that is, patients with real colds are rarely seen in winter, but they are everywhere in summer. Modern people live in an environment with heating in winter and air conditioning in summer, and their feelings about the four seasons are becoming more and more unclear. When sweating in summer, because of air conditioning, sweat can't volatilize and accumulate in the body; Heating in winter, sweating in light clothes, full of yang, can not hide essence. If you don't hide essence in winter, you will get sick in spring. In this environment, the human body is most prone to get sick, the skin opening and closing function declines, and the ability to resist evil spirits is getting worse and worse, which easily leads to the accumulation of dampness and evil spirits in the body, resulting in yang deficiency. Damp pathogen is more harmful to human body than cold pathogen. In hot summer, people covet air conditioning, like to drink cold drinks and eat cold dishes. A glass of cold beer is cold from head to toe from the inside out. As everyone knows, in order to covet the swiftness of this moment, at the same time, dampness is deeply buried in the body, which has become a hidden danger that puzzles our health. July and August every year is called long summer, when moisture is in season, the spleen in the human body corresponds to it. Dampness is also called "yin evil" in Chinese medicine, and the spleen is the most yin and dirty, and it likes dryness and hates dampness, so the temper is the strongest in July and August. If the humidity is too high in the long summer, it is easy to damage the spleen. At the same time, the spleen governs the transport of body fluids, showing that the yang is weak and the yin is abundant, and the spleen yang is most vulnerable to the invasion of dampness, which further encourages the invasion of dampness. Others like to eat pork, and salty cold helps phlegm. Eating too much meat can also lead to phlegm dampness. If you feel wet, you'd better stick to a vegetarian diet for a while. Eating rice cooked by a rice cooker for a long time is also easy to get wet. Wet people can be solved with barley and red bean soup or crispy rice. Drink glutinous rice and red bean soup for a while, and then drink millet porridge to tonify the spleen and stomach, and the spleen will be healthy and wet for a long time. Self-diagnosis of whether the body has wet road when getting up-look at the feeling. If you get up every morning feeling particularly tired, dizzy, listless, or like to wear wet clothes, you are not excited and people are too lazy to move ... then you can be sure that you are wet inside. When you go to the toilet-watch the stool in the morning, and you can observe the stool. Is it stuck to the toilet? A box of water can't be washed clean. If it is not convenient to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. If it is normal, one or two pieces of paper will be enough. Three or five pieces of paper can't be wiped clean after repeated wiping. (This is also the reason why the stool should be asked on the consultation list. ) It also means that the body is wet. The color and shape of stool can also help to judge whether there is dampness in the body. Normal stool is golden banana-shaped, and few people have this kind of healthy stool now. When the body is wet, the stool is blue, soft and shapeless. (This is an important sign of spleen deficiency, which many people have) There is always a feeling of uncleanness. After a long time, the toxins produced by defecation remain in the body, and all diseases are numerous. When washing-looking at the tongue coating, we usually start washing after going to the toilet. Before brushing our teeth, we might as well spend a few seconds looking at our tongue in the mirror. "Tongue is the seedling of the heart, and it is also a disease outside the spleen". Tongue can sensitively reflect our physical condition. A healthy tongue is reddish and moist, with a layer of tongue coating, which is thin, white and quiet, moderately dry and wet, not slippery or dry. If the tongue can't reach these indicators, it means that there is something wrong with the body function. If the tongue coating is white and thick, it looks smooth, indicating that there is cold in the body; If the tongue coating is rough or thick and yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; If the tongue is red without coating, it means that the body is too hot to hurt the yin. In addition to the above three points, there are two ways to judge: first, see if you feel sick when brushing your teeth in the morning. Many people say that when they brush their teeth, they vomit, which makes them sick. There is always a feeling of untidiness and uncleanness in their throats, even if they vomit only a little. Second, get up in the morning and feel whether the calf is sour. These are also typical characteristics of damp evil. By the way, a wonderful way to get rid of dampness is to massage Chengshan point. There are also Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan, all of which are very useful. It is best to use moxibustion. There are also many skills and exquisite glutinous rice and red bean porridge. Coix seed is hard, and so are red beans. If you keep cooking in the pot, it won't rot for more than an hour, wasting fire or electricity, and may even dry the water, causing the bottom to paste. I suggest two ways: first, add enough water to the pot, turn off the fire after boiling, let the barley and red beans stay in the pot for half an hour, add fire, and stay in the pot for half an hour after boiling, and the red bean porridge will be cooked. The second method is simpler, that is, clean the thermos bottle that is not commonly used in our family now, put the coix seed and red beans in it, then pour in boiling water and plug the bottle cap to make it stuffy. Every night, there will be porridge in the morning, just for breakfast. This is very simple and energy-saving, so you don't need to cook it. One advantage of glutinous rice red bean porridge is that it won't be sticky. There are always rotten red beans and glutinous rice under it, and reddish soup on it. Most of the effective components of glutinous rice and red beans are in the soup. Because there is a lot of water when cooking porridge, these soups can be drunk as tea for a long time. If it is summer, you should try to finish it in the morning, because it will go bad in the afternoon. Those glutinous rice and red beans that sink to the bottom can still be eaten. If it doesn't taste good, you can add some sugar. Can't this be both tea and dinner? As for the efficacy, it is really serious. Coix lachryma-jobi seed, called "Coix lachryma-jobi seed" in Chinese medicine, is listed as the top grade in Shennong Herbal Classic. It can eliminate dampness and benefit the stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach, and can strengthen the body and replenish qi if taken for a long time. Red beans, known as "adzuki beans" in Chinese medicine, also have obvious diuretic and detumescence effects and spleen and stomach strengthening effects. Because they are red, they can nourish the heart. Modern people are under great mental pressure and lack of spirit; Poor diet, less exercise, spleen deficiency and dampness. To eliminate dampness, nourish the heart and strengthen the spleen and stomach, barley and red beans are the only ones. Boiling it into porridge is intended to make its effective components fully absorbed by the human body, and at the same time it will not cause too much burden on the spleen and stomach. The "detumescence" effect of coix seed and red bean is also very interesting. We must not think that swelling is edema. Look at people now, at least five or six out of ten people are fat and swollen, which is called bloated. In Chinese medicine, obesity or edema means that the body is wet, and water can't stay between somatic cells with the flow of qi and blood, which makes the human body expand rapidly. So is edema, and so is obesity, but to different degrees. Drugs or foods with strong dehumidification function can discharge these watery liquids remaining in the human body and also reduce swelling. Therefore, red beans must be used to treat edema, and practice has proved that barley red bean porridge has a good weight loss effect, which can not only lose weight, but also does not hurt the body. Especially for middle-aged and elderly obesity, the effect is particularly good. Dampness is the root of all kinds of chronic incurable diseases in modern times, and Coix seed and red bean soup is a good medicine for treating dampness. After I prescribe drugs to patients in clinic, I always tell them some matters needing attention in diet and daily life, the most important of which is to go back and drink barley and red bean soup as tea. For patients who really don't have this condition, I will let him cook porridge with barley and red beans as the staple food for dinner. A student once asked me, "Why do you let everyone drink barley and red bean soup and barley and red bean porridge?" I said, because getting wet in the body is a common problem of modern people, barley and red bean soup is suitable for everyone. I said, "Never add more rice!" Why? Because rice grows in water and contains moisture, it is wet and sticky, so it will thicken when cooked. Both red beans and coix seed are dehumidified and contain no water, so they are not strong and the soup is clear. Traditional Chinese medicine just uses its clarity to get rid of the dryness and dampness of the human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding water, so the whole porridge is thick. Finally, tell me about my experience. Although coix seed is good, it is cold. For brothers who have spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, you can fry them first to dispel the cold and then cook porridge. ) Return to the top.
