In modern times, when many people go to see Chinese medicine, they will be told that they are "wet", and almost most people will drink barley and red beans to get rid of dampness.
The following is to share with you where we often say "dampness" comes from, and several key acupoints for eliminating dampness.
First, there are three factors in the existence of wetness.
1, because I ate too many greasy things, I couldn't digest them and piled them up to be wet;
2, although I don't eat much, I don't have enough digestive ability. If I eat a little, I will feel bored and get wet.
There are also environmental and seasonal factors, such as how humid Sichuan is, and people there will be uncomfortable if they don't eat Chili. For example, in summer, many people's bodies will get wet and become heavy and lazy.
These three symptoms are ultimately related to temper.
Second, "wet weight" is the standard, and "spleen deficiency" is the foundation.
The spleen in Chinese medicine is responsible for the operation, and the elimination of any metabolites depends on the power of temper. When you are weak-tempered, dirty things will stay in your body. What's a dirty thing? It can be excess fat or abnormal secretions and excretions.
Fat people have more yang deficiency and are "wet". Many fat people look strong, but they are cold. Especially those who have more fat on their bellies and larger swimming rings, we can't ignore the coldness of their constitutions. If you come into contact with such fat people, their skin is usually cold. It is because their bodies know that their yang is insufficient and instinctively increase fat to keep warm.
Just like when there was no refrigerator in the past, people who sold popsicles in summer would wrap them in quilts to prevent heat dissipation. Fat on fat people also plays this role, so there is a theory that "fat people have more yang deficiency and thin people have more yin deficiency", which is often that the fatter they get, the fatter they get, forming a vicious circle.
The correct way for fat people to lose weight is to warm and replenish cold and dampness. "Warm" is the ability to increase fat metabolism, and "cold and dampness" refers to those fats that should not be accumulated in the body.
Third, children who love to sleep may be "wet weight"
Many children, who are very good and particularly fond of sleeping, are probably trapped by damp evil. The reason why these children are wet and heavy may be that their innate spleen and stomach are not very strong. When he was fed the day after tomorrow, his parents might not notice it and hurt his temper.
Temper has the ability to digest food, absorb nutrition and discharge dregs. If this ability declines, while nutrients are not absorbed, the dregs can't be discharged, and it will get wet if it stays in the body. With these wastes, the body will naturally feel tired, so it is easy to feel sleepy at a young age.
The typical symptom of being attacked by damp evil is that the body always feels tired, but this kind of fatigue is not because of where it hurts. If it hurts, it may be because of your blood deficiency.
1, heavy body, heavy hair and foggy head. Although the head does not hurt, it is not refreshing;
2, there will be eczema on the skin, poor appetite, everything feels tasteless, and the mouth is sticky.
When your tongue sticks out, you will find that it is fat and light in color. If the symptoms are severe, there will be tooth marks on the edge of the tongue, even like a child's little skirt. This is called "skirt tongue", which is a serious spleen deficiency and dampness.

In the process of pushing, find the pain point or subcutaneous obstruction with a knot in one's heart and press it slowly. You don't have to stick to acupuncture points. If you feel the most pain, press it more.
