1, body removal and moisturizing method
Mao Yilin, director of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, suggested that the turbid and heavy moisture in the body should be removed by the following methods to restore a refreshing feeling.
1, exercise frequently. Less exercise, uncontrolled diet and high pressure lead to moisture retention in the body. Exercise can relieve stress, activate the operation of body organs and accelerate the excretion of water. Try jogging, walking, swimming, yoga, Tai Chi and other fitness exercises, which will help to activate blood circulation and increase water metabolism.
2, the use of aromatic, sweaty and bitter herbs, but also to wet. It is the wisdom of our ancestors to fight infectious diseases with plant fragrance. For example, southerners carry wormwood with them, which can sterilize and prevent infection. Or during the Dragon Boat Festival, hang Eupatorium odoratum, Acorus gramineus and Folium Artemisiae Argyi at the door of every household and take them off for bathing or disinfection.
3. Avoid humid environment. In daily life, it is best to reduce contact with wet environment, especially those who are sensitive to moisture, and pay more attention to it, such as not sleeping directly on the floor, going out less in rainy days, not wearing wet clothes, and taking in proper water.
4. Drink glutinous rice porridge with red beans.
"The gastrointestinal system is related to nutrition and water metabolism. The best way is to have a moderate and balanced diet. " Mao Yilin said that greasy foods such as wine, fat 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. Cold food, frozen products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate, so it is not advisable to overeat, such as lettuce salad, watermelon, Chinese cabbage and bitter gourd. It is best to add onions and ginger when cooking to reduce its coldness. To remove moisture from the body, barley and red bean porridge is a good product, which can be used as both tea and rice. Coix seed, which can cure dampness, benefit stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen spleen and benefit stomach, can be taken for a long time. Red beans, known as "adzuki beans" in Chinese medicine, have obvious diuretic and detumescence effects and spleen and stomach strengthening effects. Red beans enter the heart and also have a strong heart. Don't add too much rice when cooking highland barley and red bean porridge. Because rice grows in water and contains moisture, it is wet and sticky, so it thickens as soon as it is cooked. Red beans and barley are all wet, and the soup is very clear. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) uses the nature of clearing to get rid of moisture in the body.
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 traditional Chinese medicine, slowly pushes water vapor out of the body like slow fire.
5. Diet moistureproof products include sorghum, corn, coix seed, lentils, cress, onion, wax gourd, purslane, crucian carp, abalone and snail. These dehumidified foods have the effects of invigorating spleen, regulating middle warmer, relieving summer heat and removing dampness, promoting diuresis and removing dampness, clearing away heat and dampness, relaxing bowels and detoxicating, nourishing yin and softening liver.
