Physique phenomenon is an important manifestation of human life activities, and TCM physique is an important part of the basic theory of TCM, which is used to guide the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and health preservation of diseases. According to the classification and judgment of TCM constitution, constitution can be divided into nine types: peaceful constitution, qi deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution, yin deficiency constitution, phlegm-dampness constitution, damp-heat constitution, blood stasis constitution, qi stagnation constitution and idiosyncratic constitution. So what type do you belong to? What are the characteristics of this constitution? What is the principle of keeping in good health of this constitution? How to regulate through environment, diet, medicated diet and even drugs? Today, let's look at phlegm dampness.

I. Physical characteristics

People with phlegm-dampness constitution are obese, especially those with soft abdomen, mild personality, easy to feel sleepy, oily facial skin, often sticky mouth, seldom thirsty, easy to sweat, lazy, sleepy, frequent defecation and shapeless. The tongue body is fat, the tongue coating is greasy, and there are often tooth marks on the tongue edge.

People with phlegm-dampness constitution may have high cholesterol, triglyceride, very low density lipoprotein and blood sugar. Usually, we should pay more attention to adjusting our life, changing some bad habits and strengthening exercise. Try to keep your clothes loose and breathable. Sweating will be beneficial to the discharge of water in the body.

Three. Conditioning method

Don't live in a humid environment, and stick to physical exercise for a long time. In terms of diet, we should pay attention to the law of diet, and we must eat breakfast. Avoid "fat, sweet and thick" when eating at ordinary times, and the diet should be light, digestible and diversified. Coix seed, adzuki bean, euryale seed, yam, wax gourd, crucian carp and millet have the effects of invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, which can be commonly used.

In medicine, Chinese medicine believes that phlegm-dampness is closely related to lung, spleen and kidney, so the focus should be on conditioning lung, spleen and kidney. Erchen decoction can be used for those whose lungs fail to descend, body fluid loses its distribution and body fluid accumulates phlegm; If the spleen loses health, it will accumulate dampness and become phlegm, and you can choose Liujunzi Decoction; If kidney deficiency can't make water and the water is full of phlegm, Jingui Shenqi Pill can be used. It's a three-point poison The above drugs need to be asked by professionals before they can be used. Please don't use them blindly.
