People with phlegm-dampness constitution should develop good eating habits, avoid eating fat, sweet and cold, quit smoking and drinking, and usually eat more foods rich in fiber and vitamins such as ginger, vegetables and fruits to keep their stools smooth and normal. Because "the spleen is the source of phlegm and the lung is the reservoir of phlegm", people with phlegm-dampness constitution can take Liujunzi Pill or Suxing Chener Pill to strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm.

Avoid wading in the rain, stay in the wetland for a long time, keep warm, and prevent the spleen from being trapped by exogenous cold and dampness, especially in the rainy season. Appropriate participation in physical exercise should be based on slight sweat to help blood flow smoothly.
