Dampness-heat and cold-dampness are two evils with opposite properties and usually do not co-exist. Patients should identify the specific evils and then take general treatment (life adjustment) and medication (Yin Chen Wu Ling San).
1. General treatment: For patients with cold and dampness internal invasion, in their life, they can consume food of warm and hot nature and pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm. For patients with dampness-heat internalization, they should avoid eating spicy and stimulating food, and exercise appropriately.
2. Medication: According to the bias of specific cold and heat, medication should be chosen for treatment. Gentian Liver Pill has the effect of clearing dampness and heat and is suitable for patients with dampness and heat in the body. Yin Chen Jiu Pian Tang has the effect of warming yang and removing dampness, and is suitable for patients with stagnant cold and dampness.
The specific treatment plan should be guided by the doctor, not unauthorized use of drugs, so as not to use the wrong medicine to cause damage to the body.
