Every spring, it rains in Mao Mao. As we all know, wet days make people feel bad, so when the humidity in the body is too high, it must be very bad, and a series of pathological phenomena will appear accordingly.

For example, drowsiness, loss of appetite, facial oil, hair oil, irregular stool, and even rash due to excessive humidity. Stick out your tongue and see, fat, with teeth marks, sticky tongue coating. You can observe the normal tongue coating, which is a thin layer, clean and refreshing, and evenly distributed in the middle and back of the tongue.

We often say that the spleen governs transport and transformation, and the stomach governs reception, which is the acquired foundation of the human body. Once cold pathogen and damp pathogen invade the body, coupled with the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, the spleen can't be transported, and the water in the body can't be converted into the body fluid that our body needs. The stomach can't digest the delicate grains and water we eat, and the water and water pile up together. Over time, the humidity will get bigger and bigger. There will be more and more symptoms in the body.

Since it is caused by moisture, the key point below is to remove moisture. How to remove moisture is a problem.

Today, I will share with you a recipe for eliminating dampness, which consists of four flavors: Poria cocos, yam, lotus seeds and Euryale ferox. Let's have a look.

Let's talk about this kind of poria cocos, which is sweet and flat, grows under the roots of pine trees and generally grows in a relatively dry place. Why? Because it absorbs water from the soil, it can benefit from water infiltration. However, the absorbed water needs to be wetted and excreted, so Poria cocos is also diuretic. At the same time, Poria cocos has the functions of strengthening the spleen, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves.

Everyone is familiar with yam, which is long and straight. It grows underground. In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach correspond to soil, so yam can help us strengthen the spleen and stomach and improve loss of appetite.

Lotus seeds and Euryale ferox, whether dry or cooked, are sweet, astringent and flat in nature, can enter the spleen meridian, and can help yam to replenish fertile soil and strengthen the spleen. Lotus seeds also help poria cocos to nourish the heart and soothe the nerves; Euryale ferox is beneficial to kidney, and it can solidify essence and remove dampness.

The combination of the above four herbs has mild efficacy and can improve cold, dampness and dampness.

However, it is still necessary to carry out TCM syndrome differentiation.
