There is more and more rain and humidity in spring. In addition, if you eat too much meat and exercise less, your body will be deficient in both yin and yang, which will easily lead to dampness and stagnation. Chinese medicine believes that spleen deficiency leads to loose stool. We should have taken whole grains as our staple food, but many people take meat as their staple food, so it is normal for us to have high humidity. So how should we deal with it?
It rains in spring, and my body is wet.
Among the evils of wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire, TCM is most afraid of dampness. Wet is the easiest to penetrate. Damp evil never fights alone, but always colludes with other evil spirits. Moisture becomes cold and wet when it meets cold, just like winter. If the climate is dry, no matter how cold it is, people can still accept it, but if the humidity is high, people will feel very uncomfortable. When moisture meets the wind, it becomes rheumatism, which is easy to drive away the wind, but once it becomes rheumatism, it is often a chronic disease that cannot be cured for a while. When moisture is under the skin, it will form obesity, which is also a health problem that is not easy to deal with.
