Because of the environment, diet, living habits and other factors, everyone will be "wet" to varying degrees.
To judge the moisture in the body, look at the appearance first: people with obesity (obvious lower abdomen), eczema, facial oil, swollen eyes and white greasy tongue coating have heavier moisture.
Secondly, look for symptoms: fullness in the chest and abdomen, light mouth, loss of appetite, or nausea and vomiting, lethargy, heavy weight, edema of lower limbs, loose stool, turbid urine, drooling during sleep, heavy joint pain, increased leucorrhea, stickiness and so on.
According to the different invasion sites of dampness, the manifestations are also different:
Chest tightness, dizziness, heavy limbs, and discomfort with upper focus are just like carrying a lot of heavy objects on your body. In addition, when the body is wet, there will be symptoms such as fever, fear of cold, fear of wind and runny nose.
Abdominal distension, poor appetite and loss of appetite may occur in the middle energizer. There are also symptoms of qi deficiency and dampness, such as pale mouth, sticky mouth, thirst but no desire to drink water, fatigue and fatigue.
The lower energizer may have dysuria, turbid urine, loose stool, excessive leucorrhea of women, pruritus of pudendum, etc.
