When the weather is hot or the indoor temperature is high, patients can blow the air conditioner appropriately, but should pay attention to adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner, which should not be too low. At the same time, it is not advisable to stay in an air-conditioned environment for a long time, so as not to make the dampness unable to be discharged from the body and aggravate the symptoms of dampness.
According to Chinese medicine, heavy dampness is mostly caused by exogenous dampness or endogenous dampness, which is manifested as impotence and weakness of the limbs, distension of the epigastrium (stomach and abdomen), and headache, etc. Among them, dampness is associated with external dampness, which is associated with internal dampness.
Among them, exogenous dampness is related to prolonged exposure to humid environments or excessive consumption of cold, oily and sugary foods. Internal dampness is related to spleen deficiency. The spleen is responsible for transportation (the spleen has the function of digesting food, absorbing food essence and water and transferring it to the whole body), and a dysfunction of transportation can produce dampness.
In daily life, patients with heavy dampness should avoid being greedy for cold, blowing air-conditioning for a long time, doing more outdoor activities, and avoiding living in humid environments. Avoid eating foods that are too sweet, too greasy, or too cold.
If there are obvious symptoms, they should consult a doctor in time and be treated accordingly after diagnosis.
