Since April, Guangdong has entered the "season of frequent occurrence of strong convection", with thunderstorms, rainstorms and "returning to the South", and multi-mode random broadcasting, making people "wet dada". In this magical season, when it is inconvenient for people to travel and live, they also have discomfort symptoms such as drowsiness, fatigue, skin itching and so on. On June 6, Pang Jie, associate professor, attending physician and successor of the academic experience of the national old traditional Chinese medicine expert, told reporters about what "moisture" in traditional Chinese medicine means? How to effectively "dispel dampness"? Pang Jie introduced that Lingnan has a humid and hot climate. Guangdong belongs to Lingnan. Due to its special geographical location, Lingnan is close to the sea in the South and Wuling in the north. It is rainy in spring and summer, hot and wet. It has a tropical and subtropical climate. Chen Zhaoyu, a physician in the Song Dynasty, described in the "Taiping Shenghui prescription" that "the land in the south of Fuling is low and wet, the climate is different, the summer is poisonous and steaming, the winter is warm and snow free, and the gas of rheumatism is easy to hurt people". It shows the characteristics of wet climate and long season in Lingnan. Dampness is a common feature of the disease. The damp and hot Qi in Lingnan is steamed, and the people in Lingnan must have more physical characteristics of dampness. In addition, in addition to external humidity factors, people in Lingnan like to eat raw frozen products, fish, shrimp, seafood and other greasy and wet products. The humid regional environment will lead to deficiency of spleen and stomach. In addition, the double damage of eating habits will lead to internal dampness in a vicious circle. Therefore, the dampness of people in Lingnan is a combination of internal dampness and external dampness. What does "moisture" in traditional Chinese medicine mean? Pangjie said that normal climate changes in nature include wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire (heat). Dampness is a normal climate change in nature. The four solar terms from great heat, autumn, summer to White Dew are long summer, and the climate is mainly wet at that time. Normal dampness is the condition for the growth of all things. At this time, it is harmless to the human body. When climate change is abnormal, or our flesh and blood can not be well adjusted, dampness becomes a pathogenic factor, which is the disease evil that leads to disease, namely "dampness evil". In traditional Chinese medicine, pathogenic evil Qi with the characteristics of turbidity, viscosity and descending is called "dampness evil". How to effectively "dispel dampness"? Pang Jie believes that the generation of "dampness evil" has external and internal causes, and the "dampness elimination" of traditional Chinese medicine should also be adjusted according to time, place and personal conditions. She mainly introduced two methods for your reference. The first method is the adjustment of daily life. We should form a good habit of eating rhythmically, eat less raw and cold food as far as possible, and protect the spleen and stomach; Avoid being in a humid environment for a long time, such as living in low-lying and humid places for a long time; When returning to the south, the dehumidification function of the air conditioner can be used to change the humid environment; Move up, promote sweat discharge through appropriate exercise, and also help to dispel dampness. The second method is dietotherapy to dispel dampness. You can choose traditional Chinese medicine with relatively mild properties and dual-use of medicine and food to carry out some daily dampness removal, such as soaking in water instead of tea with fragrant and sweet patchouli, Perrin, lentil flower, rushes, tangerine peel and so on; Or cook porridge and soup with white lentils, red adzuki beans, Euryale ferox, coix seed, etc. TCM dampness removal should vary from person to person, physical characteristics are different, the depth of dampness evil invading the human body is different, and the methods of dampness removal are also different. Therefore, if the effect of "removing dampness" through daily life, diet and other methods is poor, it still needs to be regulated by professional traditional Chinese medicine. Are the "dampness removing tea" and "water eliminating pill" sold online useful? Pang Jie does not recommend blindly buying "dampness removing tea" and "Xiaoshui pill" online. If they are not used properly, they often can not play the dampness removing effect and cause harm to the body. (outlook new era)
