Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen can transport water and dampness. Spleen likes dryness and hates dampness. If the spleen yang goes up, the spleen is healthy, the function of transporting water and dampness is normal, and dampness is not easy to cause disease. On the other hand, patients often suffer from dizziness, heavy head, sore limbs, heavy body pain, unfavorable joint flexion and extension, chest tightness, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, thin stool, thick and greasy tongue coating and other symptoms. In order to prevent and reduce wet injury, we must pay attention to protecting the spleen. Only when the yang in the spleen and stomach rises can we effectively resist the invasion of dampness.
Therefore, at the turn of summer and autumn, we should pay special attention to the ventilation of rooms and workplaces; Dry your body and change clothes in time after wading in the rain; Don't soak in river water and swimming pool for a long time when the water is cold on cloudy days, so as to avoid external moisture invading the muscle surface and hurting people. In order to prevent internal dampness, don't eat too many cold fruits and vegetables, the diet should be light and easy to digest, and avoid being fat, sweet and greasy and overeating. In addition, using lotus seeds, barley, red beans, white lentils and other products to strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis to cook porridge in moderation can protect the spleen and stomach and get rid of moisture.
Thousands of years ago, Chinese medicine mentioned the influence of climate and environmental changes on the body, in which humidity was considered as the key to trigger and aggravate diseases. Under normal circumstances, the human body has the natural ability to adjust the changes of external temperature and humidity, but some people's health is affected by poor health, diseases or living habits, which leads to the imbalance of water control system in the body and the inability to discharge water.
In addition, modern people exercise less, eat more, stay up late, and have great pressure, which will also cause gastrointestinal digestive function to be blocked and water metabolism to be unbalanced.
Too much water in the body can make people feel sleepy, heavy limbs, loss of appetite, cold hands and feet, rash, sticky face and even gastroenteritis.
Lack of exercise, uncontrolled diet and stress lead to moisture retention in the body.
As far as Chinese medicine is concerned, incense, sweat and bitter medicine are the magic weapons to eliminate dampness. It is the wisdom of our ancestors to use plant aroma to fight infectious diseases. For example, southerners wear wormwood to sterilize and prevent diseases. Or in the Dragon Boat Festival in May when the climate is warming and bacteria and viruses are emitted, cymbidium, Acorus gramineus and Artemisia argyi are hung at the door of every household and taken down for bathing, that is, to disinfect the air and drink water.
Modern pharmacy has also found that these aromatic plants do have antiviral effects, such as star anise, which is made into flu vaccine.
In addition, spicy ginger juice perspires sweat, which is most suitable for dispelling body moisture after being caught in the rain and preventing colds; Sweet ginger, a bitter and warm Chinese medicine, is like a slow fire, slowly forcing water and qi out of the body.
Chinese medicine teaches you to get rid of dampness.
But to really get rid of the moisture in the body, we should start from improving our living habits. Chinese medicine provides the following methods, so that you can easily get rid of the turbid and heavy moisture in your body and regain freshness.
No. 1 Qin Zhao movement
Exercise can relieve stress, activate the operation of body organs and accelerate the excretion of water.
Modern people use more brains, consume less physical strength, wait for a long time in a closed air conditioner, and rarely sweat, so the body's ability to adjust humidity becomes worse. Try running, walking, swimming, yoga, Tai Chi and other "breathe a little, sweat a little" exercises, which will help activate blood circulation and increase water metabolism.
The second measure is a light and moderate diet.
Gastrointestinal system is closely related to nutrition and water metabolism, and the best way is a reasonable and balanced diet.
Oily foods such as wine, milk, fat meat and thick taste are not easy to digest, which is easy to cause bloating and inflammation. Sweets and fried products will make the body produce peroxide, which will aggravate the inflammatory reaction.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold food, ice products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate, and it is not easy to eat. Like lettuce
Salad, watermelon, Chinese cabbage, bitter gourd, etc. It is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to reduce the coldness of vegetables.
The third measure is to avoid humid environment.
In addition, it is best to reduce exposure to humid environment in daily life. Especially for people who are sensitive to moisture, they should pay more attention to the following matters:
1. Don't sleep directly on the floor. The moisture in the air will drop, the floor will be wet, and it will easily invade the body, causing pain in the limbs. It is best to sleep in a bed at a certain distance from the floor.
2. Reduce going out in rainy days.
Don't wear wet clothes
4. Water intake should be moderate.
Heat-clearing and dampness-removing porridge

Production: Wash Z, Poria cocos, kapok and wicker flower, stir-fry them in 2 bowls, remove residue and get juice, and add adzuki bean and white ... >>
Question 2: What can you eat to get rid of moisture in your body? 1. How to judge whether your body is wet?
1. Hair loves oil. 2. The face is shiny. 3. Leave saliva when sleeping (water will flow out when it is saturated). 4. The defecation is sticky (not easy to wash off) and there are many stools. 5. Small belly, big belly, 6. Ear dampness (ear Zen dampness), 7. * * * Wet.
2. How is wet formed?
For example: use shampoo when going out in the morning, use shampoo when sleeping at night, take a bath within 8 hours after scraping and cupping, take a bath after habitual exercise and sweating, scrape and cupping when taking a bath, and so on.
There is an old saying: "a thousand colds are easy to get rid of, but a wet cold is hard to get rid of." Wet and sticky, such as oil entering the surface. " The combination of dampness and cold is called cold dampness, heat is called damp heat, wind is called rheumatism, and summer is called summer dampness. No matter how much tonic you take, no matter how much medicine you take, you are also scratching your boots across the mountain to beat cattle. Many people suffer from fatty liver, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even malignant tumors. In fact, these diseases are all related to dampness and phlegm.
(2) 【 Self-diagnosis of whether there is dampness in the body 】
When you get up-look at this feeling.
If you wake up every morning feeling particularly tired, dizzy, unable to get up, or as lethargic as wearing wet clothes, and people are too lazy to move … then you can be sure that you are wet inside.
When you go to the toilet-look at the stool
After the morning is convenient, you can observe the stool. Is it stuck to the toilet? A box of water can't be washed clean. If it is not convenient to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. If it is normal, one or two pieces of paper will be enough. Three or five pieces of paper can't be wiped clean after repeated wiping. (This is also the reason why the stool should be asked on the consultation list. ) It also means that the body is wet. The color and shape of stool can also help to judge whether there is dampness in the body. Normal stool is golden banana-shaped, and few people have this kind of healthy stool now. When the body is wet, the stool is blue, soft and shapeless. (This is an important sign of spleen deficiency, which many people have) There is always a feeling of uncleanness. After a long time, the toxins produced by defecation remain in the body, and all the diseases are serious.
When washing-look at the tongue coating
We usually start washing after going to the toilet. Before brushing our teeth, we might as well spend a few seconds looking at our tongue in the mirror. "Tongue is the seedling of the heart, and it is also a disease outside the spleen". Tongue can sensitively reflect our physical condition.
A healthy tongue is reddish and moist, with a layer of tongue coating, which is thin, white and quiet, moderately dry and wet, not slippery or dry. If the tongue can't reach these indicators, it means that there is something wrong with the body function. If the tongue coating is white and thick, it looks smooth, indicating that there is cold in the body; If the tongue coating is rough or thick and yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; If the tongue is red without coating, it means that the body is too hot to hurt the yin.
In addition to the above three points, there are two ways to distinguish:
Let's see if it's disgusting when we get up and brush our teeth in the morning. Many people say that when they brush their teeth, they vomit, which makes them sick. There is always a feeling of untidiness and uncleanness in their throats, even if they vomit only a little.
Second, get up in the morning and feel whether the calf is sour. These are also typical characteristics of damp evil. By the way, a wonderful way to get rid of dampness is to massage Chengshan point.
To remove the moisture in the body, the method is very simple, and only two "drugs" are needed. These two medicines can be eaten as tea and can solve big problems. They are barley and red beans. These two things, without any proportion, are caught one at a time, washed and boiled in a pot with water. After boiling, it is a good product for eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen-glutinous rice and red bean porridge. ……
One advantage of glutinous rice red bean porridge is that it won't be sticky. Red beans and glutinous rice will always rot at the bottom, and the red soup will be on it. Most of the effective ingredients of glutinous rice and red beans are in the soup. Put more water when cooking porridge, and these soups will be enough for us to drink for half a day, just as tea …
Dampness is the root of all kinds of chronic incurable diseases in modern times, and Coix seed and red bean soup is a good medicine for treating dampness. The best one is to cook glutinous rice and red bean soup as tea. For patients who don't have this condition, I will let him cook porridge with barley and red beans as the staple food for dinner.
Never add rice to it! Why? Because rice grows in water and contains moisture, it is wet and sticky, so it thickens as soon as it is cooked. Both red beans and coix seed are dampness-removing, so they are not strong and the soup is very clear. Traditional Chinese medicine just uses its clarity to get rid of the dryness and dampness of human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding water, so the whole porridge is thick. Although it may taste better, it is not good for health >>
Question 3: What can you eat to drive away the moisture in your body? One is coix seed and the other is red bean. These two things are not in any proportion, so we should catch one at a time. After washing, they should be put in a pot and boiled with water. When cooked, they will become the best product for eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen-barley red bean porridge.
There are many skills and exquisite skills in the cooking of glutinous rice and red bean porridge. Coix seed is hard, and so are red beans. If you keep cooking in the pot, it won't rot for more than an hour, wasting fire or electricity, and may even dry the water, causing the bottom to paste. There are two ways I suggest: the first way is to add enough water to the pot, turn off the fire after boiling, let the barley and red beans stay in the pot for half an hour, then simmer and stay in the pot for half an hour after boiling, and the red bean porridge will be cooked. The second method is simpler, that is, clean the thermos that is not commonly used at home now, put the coix seed and red beans in it, then pour in boiling water and plug the bottle cap to make it stuffy. Every night, there will be porridge in the morning, just for breakfast. It's easy and energy-saving, so you don't have to cook any more.
One advantage of glutinous rice red bean porridge is that it won't be sticky. Red beans and glutinous rice will always rot at the bottom, and the red soup will be on it. Most of the effective ingredients of glutinous rice and red beans are in the soup. Put more water when cooking porridge, and these soups will be enough for us to drink for half a day, just as tea. If it is summer, try to finish it in the morning, because it will be stale in the afternoon.
As for the efficacy, it is really serious. Coix lachryma-jobi seed, called "Coix lachryma-jobi seed" in Chinese medicine, is listed as the top grade in Shennong Herbal Classic. It can eliminate dampness and benefit the stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and benefit the stomach, and can strengthen the body and replenish qi if taken for a long time. Red beans, known as "adzuki beans" in Chinese medicine, also have obvious diuretic and detumescence effects and spleen and stomach strengthening effects. Because they are red, they can nourish the heart. Modern people have great mental stress, lack of heart-qi, improper diet, little exercise, spleen deficiency and dampness. To eliminate dampness, nourish the heart and strengthen the spleen and stomach, barley and red beans are the only ones. Boiling it into porridge is intended to make its effective components fully absorbed by the human body, while not causing any burden to the spleen and stomach.
The "detumescence" effect of coix seed and red bean is also very interesting. We must not think that swelling is edema. Look at people nowadays. At least 5-6 people in 10 are fat and swollen, which is called bloated. In Chinese medicine, obesity or edema means that the body is wet. Water can't flow with qi and blood and stay between human cells, which makes the human body expand rapidly. So is edema, so is obesity, but the degree is deep and shallow. Drugs or foods with strong dampness-removing properties can discharge these residual water in the human body, and can also reduce swelling. Therefore, red beans must be used to treat edema, and practice has proved that barley red bean porridge has a good weight loss effect, which can not only lose weight, but also does not hurt the body, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and obese people.
People often ask: "Why can't glutinous rice and red bean porridge be cooked into a sticky shape?" Someone also said to me, "I added a handful of rice when I cooked glutinous rice and red bean porridge, and the porridge became thicker." It tastes so beautiful! "
I said, "Never add more rice!" Why? Because rice grows in water and contains moisture, it is wet and sticky, so it thickens as soon as it is cooked. Both red beans and coix seed are dampness-removing, so they are not strong and the soup is very clear. Traditional Chinese medicine just uses its clarity to get rid of the dryness and dampness of human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding water, so the whole porridge is thick. Although the taste may be better, it is not a good thing for health. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and barley were wasted, and the effect was useless. People who are worried, overworked and do little exercise on weekdays often have a dull face, lack of energy, and even palpitations and drowsiness, feeling heavy as a bundle and empty inside. This is a sign of wet body and weak heart. You can add some longan to the barley and red bean porridge and cook it together. Longan is sweet in taste and warm in nature, which can stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen, soothe the nerves, replenish blood, nourish the heart and yang, warm the heart and make people full of essence. Especially suitable for mental workers and middle-aged and elderly people.
Young people are prone to irritability, insomnia, or rashes and acne on their faces, all of which are caused by excessive heart fire and damp heat. You can add lily or lotus seeds to glutinous rice and red bean porridge and cook them together, or both.
Lily can moisten the lungs, nourish the skin, clear the heart and soothe the nerves. Lotus seeds can nourish the heart, clear the heart, strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney at the same time, but lotus seeds have a slightly astringent effect, which can be used by people with weak constitution, but I am afraid it is not suitable for fat people with more stasis in the body.
When using lotus seeds, you should remove the heart inside. When >>
Question 4: What can I eat to remove moisture from my body? In traditional Chinese medicine, too much moisture will affect your health. If you don't want to take medicine to get rid of dampness, diet to get rid of dampness becomes extremely important.

Question 5: What can you eat to remove moisture from your body, such as Coix seed-,red bean, wax gourd, etc.

I often eat red bean and barley porridge, mainly to get rid of dampness, and mung beans are heat-clearing, so red bean and barley porridge will help you. I hope my answer can also help you!
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "dampness" is a sign. With moisture in the body, qi and blood are not smooth, which is also a kind of disorder, and it is necessary to "dispel dampness" through various food supplements or drugs.
Damp-removing food can promote the discharge of water and dampness, and is suitable for treating dampness.

Here are several dietotherapy methods for invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness:
1. Coix seed red bean porridge, its main function is to eliminate dampness, which can get rid of moisture in the body, and it is very suitable for people with heavy humidity in summer. It can be eaten as well as made into tea, which is a good product for eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen. The practice of glutinous rice and red bean porridge: the ratio of glutinous rice and red beans is 2: 1 (about a few will do). Wash coix seed and adzuki bean and soak for one night. Put all the ingredients in a pot, add water and bring to a boil, and then cook with low heat until Job's tears are ripe. You can add some rock sugar or brown sugar when drinking.
Some people say that when cooking glutinous rice and red bean porridge, add a handful of rice, which tastes more beautiful. I advise you not to do this, because rice contains water, and red beans and barley are all moisture-removing. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding water. Although it may taste better, it is not good for health. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and barley were in vain, and it didn't work.
2. Shenqi porridge strengthens the spleen and eliminates dampness
The method is: Radix Astragali 15g, Radix Codonopsis 15g, fried Coicis Semen 60g, fried lentils 15g, 2 red dates and rice 100g.

After the soup is boiled, remove the residue, put the fried Coicis Semen, fried lentils, red jujube meat and rice into the soup to boil, and then cook it into porridge with slow fire.
Astragalus membranaceus and Codonopsis pilosula have the functions of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi. Coix seed and lentils can eliminate dampness, and porridge can nourish the stomach, replenish the middle energizer, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and relieve physical discomfort caused by summer. It is suggested to add lotus leaves to porridge, whose aromatic taste can awake spleen, dispel dampness and stimulate appetite.

Compulsory course 1: The key to internal dampness is to nourish the spleen and stomach.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the "dampness" caused by human body mainly refers to internal dampness. Chinese medicine believes that this kind of "wetness" that we can't see, touch or measure is closely related to our digestive function. The food we eat every day, after metabolism, produces a lot of wet poison. If the spleen and stomach function is good, these wet toxins can be excreted through defecation, but once the spleen and stomach function is weakened, the wet toxins remain in the body and become a factor inducing diseases. This is the meaning of the so-called "transporting water and dampness" function of spleen in traditional Chinese medicine. Physical weakness causes spleen and stomach weakness, overeating, too much greasy food, sweets and so on. These are beyond the scope of normal transportation of spleen and stomach. Water dampness stops in our viscera, eczema and other skin diseases are external manifestations of internal dampness.

Question 7: What can you eat to effectively eliminate moisture in your body? Try red bean glutinous rice flour.
Question 8: Apart from body moisture, what is the most effective way to eat? Red beans and barley are boiled together, just like porridge. It should be noted that red beans are long and round, not the kind we usually eat!
Question 9: What medicine can get rid of moisture in the body, mainly by eating meat for a long time or in a humid environment, which hurts the spleen and stomach. The spleen transports water and dampness, which hurts the spleen. Water and moisture cannot be completely transported, so it accumulates in the body. Therefore, it can't be said that dampness can be the fastest, only through slow conditioning. Suggestion:
