The most difficult thing for health preservation is to get rid of moisture, which is the enemy of Yang, and health preservation is to raise Yang. If the moisture on the body is not removed, it will hinder the movement and growth of yang, slow down the circulation of qi and blood, and affect our quality of life.
Moisture is cunning. It never fights alone. Often it will become collusion between rheumatism and cold, collusion between cold and dampness and cold evil, and evil of damp and heat. Moisture is stubborn, just like oil splashing into the surface. It is very difficult to pull this oil out from the inside, so be prepared for a protracted war against dampness.
Where does the moisture come from? ? Most people eat, and gluttonous people are more likely to produce moisture, such as desserts, meat, cold drinks, raw and cold food, drinking plenty of water and not exercising. Living in a dark and humid environment for a long time is also easy to get wet and cold on the upper body.
Man's lightness is rising, and cold and dampness are sinking. Moisture belongs to yin evil, and the nature of water is easy to sink, eroding those dark parts, such as lower limbs, joints and toes. Moisture interferes with the operation of yang, which will make the body sticky and uncomfortable, and make the hair, tongue, mouth, face, stool, leucorrhea and brain unclear, and always feel sticky. Heavy moisture makes the body feel heavy, the limbs are heavy, and the legs are as light as lead. I am so tired that I always want to lie down. The head is also heavy, like being wrapped in a wet towel.
Fat people get a lot of phlegm, while thin people have no moisture. That doesn't necessarily mean that there is moisture locally. Fat people are also yang deficiency! Therefore, when the yang is insufficient, we must think about whether there is too much water in the body, and when there is too much water in the body, we must think about whether the yang is insufficient.
Look at the middle of the tongue, it's thick and greasy. There is usually moisture. Compared with men, women are more likely to get wet. Women belong to yin and water, while men lack yang. They don't like sports and like to eat negative food. So now many women often like to go to health care and beauty to get rid of moisture. Never mind how much they spent. It is important and difficult to make up for their injuries.
Everyone is wet, but don't remove it at will, otherwise it will hurt the spleen and stomach, yang and qi. Eliminating dampness is not equal to diuresis. This operation is wrong. It can only solve the way of moisture, but not the source of moisture. If you don't control the source well, you will have diarrhea every day. It's strange that you don't collapse.
Eliminating dampness is not equal to sweating. Some people think that after there is more water in the body, they sweat every day, so the sweat rolls down. I broke out in a sweat to get rid of dampness. As a result, the moisture didn't get rid of, and I didn't know I had made a heart-blood deficiency. The ancients said that sweat and blood are homologous, and sweat is the heart fluid. Normal sweating is detoxification, and excessive sweating will lose my heart and blood. Over time, it will evolve into yin deficiency and yang deficiency.
The most important thing to eliminate dampness is to strengthen the spleen, which is the key. Eliminating dampness without strengthening the spleen is equal to drawing water with a sieve. All wet swelling belongs to the spleen. Only after spleen deficiency, there are problems in the metabolism and transportation of water sources, which will continue to produce moisture. Many people are also hurting the spleen and stomach while removing dampness, producing more moisture than removing it. When will it end?
Eliminating dampness and nourishing Yang Qi is the key, and dampness is a yin evil, which needs Yang Qi transformation. When the sun rises, the moisture dissipates naturally, just like the sun? As soon as it came out, the dark clouds dispersed and the earth became very dry. Yang Qi is the bane of moisture, which can be eliminated by benefiting water, but it is best to treat both the symptoms and root causes.
The summary of eliminating dampness is to keep your mouth shut, spread your legs, eat moderately, live a regular life, stretch your mood, get more sunshine and often moxibustion.
