The disease in the human body comes from the dampness in the body. Dampness is heavy, easy to get sick. A. Dampness – the evil of all evils Nowadays, people, eat too much meat, eat food with pollution, exercise less, the body is full of yin and yang deficiency, dampness, so the internal depression of evil, so the stool can not be normal. Why are there few formed stools? Chinese people should eat grains and cereals, but now meat is the main food, many people feel very deficient if they do not eat meat a day, long-term, the damage is the spleen and stomach, the spleen is to transport water and dampness, the spleen is injured, water and dampness can not be completely transported, it will accumulate in the body. Therefore, poorly formed stools mean spleen deficiency, and also means that there is dampness in the body. Among the “six evil spirits” – wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire – that cause disease, dampness is the most feared in Chinese medicine. Dampness is the easiest to penetrate. Dampness is never alone, always with other evil Qi wolf. Dampness becomes cold dampness when it meets cold, which is like winter time, if the climate is dry, no matter how cold it is, people can still accept it, but if the dampness is heavy, people will have a hard time. The southern winter is more unbearable than the northern winter, because the southern dampness is heavier, cold and damp attack. Dampness meets heat becomes damp heat, which is similar to the summer sauna days, there are hot and wet, so that people can not breathe, obviously not as hot as the sun, the climate is dry when it comes to pain. Dampness meets wind becomes rheumatism, it is easy to drive the wind, but once it becomes rheumatism, it is often a chronic disease, can not be cured for a while. Why are modern people’s diseases so complex and difficult to treat? Because they have dampness in the body, the evil outside the body always and the internal dampness inside and outside, entangled! Szechuan cuisine, which used to be prevalent only in the southwest of China, is now popular throughout the country? It is because Sichuan taste is spicy, before only living in the southwest of the more heavy dampness people need to use it to dissolve the dampness in the body, now, the whole country has dampness in the body, all need spicy to dissolve, so we instinctively fell in love with Sichuan cuisine. Second, the way to determine the dampness in the body of a sick person, is a stubborn dampness; seemingly healthy people in the body, there are also dampness lying in wait. So, how can you tell if there is dampness in your body? 1, look at the stool: what kind of stool is normal? “golden yellow, cylindrical; banana-shaped, very fluent.” (1) If the stool is not formed, long-term loose stool, there must be dampness in the body. (2) If the stool is formed, but there will always be some sticky on the toilet after the stool is finished, and it is difficult to flush down, this is also a manifestation of having dampness in the body, because dampness has the characteristic of being sticky. (3) If it is not easy to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. If the stool is normal, a hand towel will be wiped clean. But people with dampness in the body, a hand towel is not enough, it takes three to five to wipe clean. (4) If there is constipation, and unformed stool, that means that the body’s dampness has been very heavy and heavy, dampness sticky so that the stool sticks to the intestines, absorbed by the intestines, and do not let it out of the body. In this way, fecal poison into the blood, a hundred diseases, and general doctors often on the disease, and do not understand the root of the disease lies in the body’s dampness, haphazard treatment, which is a more terrible thing. 2, look at the state of getting up: some people, every morning at seven o’clock when it is time to get up still feel very sleepy, feel that there is something wrapped around the head, so that people can not get up, or feel that there is something wrapped around the body, so that people are too lazy to move, then, without looking at the tongue, and do not have to look at the stool, you can also determine his body dampness is very heavy. Chinese medicine says “wet heavy as wrapped”, this feeling of being wrapped is the body’s feeling of dampness, as if wearing a shirt that has not been washed and dried so awkward. Third, the method of eliminating dampness in the body Dampness is the nemesis of modern health, is the source of most difficult and chronic diseases or accomplices. As long as there is less dampness, all the so-called modern diseases will be away from us, all the nausea, chronic diseases will also lose the existence of reliance. How to deal with dampness and get rid of it? 1, drink barley red bean porridge (made with soy milk machine): barley, in Chinese medicine called “coix seeds”, “Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing” listed it as a top product, it can cure damp paralysis, benefit the stomach and intestines, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and stomach, long serving light body and benefit the qi. The red color goes into the heart, so it can also nourish the heart and blood, and it is written in ancient texts that it “makes people thin when taken for a long time”, which means that eating it regularly also has a weight loss effect. It also has obvious effects on water, swelling, and spleen and stomach. Modern people have a lot of mental stress and a weak heart; poor diet, little exercise, spleen deficiency and dampness. To remove dampness, but also to nourish the heart, but also to strengthen the spleen and stomach, it is barley and adzuki beans. The purpose of boiling them into porridge is to make its active ingredients fully absorbed by the body, while not causing much burden to the spleen and stomach. The summer is just the time of summer heat, wet inside and wet outside, with these two herbs can play a role in nourishing blood and dispelling dampness. The “swelling” effect of barley and adzuki beans is also very interesting. We must not think that swelling is edema. Around ten inside at least five or six body fat, which is also swollen, called bloated body. In Chinese medicine, obesity or edema or, all means that the body has wet, water can not flow with the qi and blood, stagnant in the body between the cells, so that the body swells up quickly. Edema is so, obesity is also so, only the degree of depth. The medicine or food with strong dampness can get rid of the water fluid that stays in the body, so it can also reduce swelling. Therefore, the treatment of edema must be used adzuki beans, and practice has proved that barley adzuki beans porridge has good weight loss effect, both to lose weight, and not hurt the body. Especially for middle and old age obesity, the effect is especially good. 2, exercise sweating balance hormone dispel moisture: exercise sweating is very good to dampness; especially in the summer do not open air conditioning, fans, the body inside the sweat must come out, otherwise your dampness is too heavy, to the winter will certainly get sick. Adhere to the right amount of exercise every day, is very beneficial to the body. Exercise can relieve stress, revitalize the functioning of the body organs, accelerate the dampness out of the body. Modern people use more brains, less physical exertion, plus stay in the air conditioning for a long time, rarely sweat, the body’s ability to regulate humidity has become poor. Try running, walking, swimming, yoga, tai chi and any other “a little panting, will sweat” exercise, which can help activate blood circulation and increase water metabolism. 3, with mugwort: available in pharmacies, lit and baked in the Guan Yuan point can be. 4, less salt to help kidney drainage. 5, appropriate naps. 6, quit smoking and quit drinking. 7, eat three slices of ginger in the morning. 8, eat a light diet in moderation. The gastrointestinal system is concerned about nutrition and water metabolism, the best way is to moderate, balanced diet. Wine, milk, fatty and fatty foods are not easy to digest and can easily cause stuffiness and inflammation in the stomach and intestines. Sweet and fried foods can cause the body to produce peroxides and aggravate the inflammatory reaction. Chinese medicine believes that cold food, ice products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestive and absorption functions of the stomach and intestines stagnant, not easy to eat in unlimited quantities. Such as lettuce salad, watermelon, cabbage, bitter melon, etc., it is best to add onion and ginger when cooking to reduce the cold nature of vegetables. 9, avoid the environment of wet Daily life is best to reduce exposure to the humid environment. Especially people sensitive to moisture, should pay attention to the following matters: (1) do not sleep directly on the floor. Moisture in the air will fall and the floor moisture heavy, easy to invade the body to cause limb pain. It is best to sleep on a bed with a certain distance from the floor. (2) Wet and rainy days to reduce outdoor. (3) Do not wear wet clothes that have not yet dried. (4) The intake of water should be moderate.
