entered June, the temperature and humidity were like two little sisters with very good feelings, holding hands and climbing up. No, the moisture in the body is heavy!
However, many people can't tell what the "heavy" method is. After all, dampness is a relatively "empty" concept. Unlike a cold and diarrhea, the symptoms can be clearly stated. How do you know if you are getting too wet? Simply teach everyone to judge - the bigger the 2 places on the
body, the heavier the moisture! Generally speaking, people with heavy humidity have these symptoms - 1. The tongue is fat and the tongue tends to be fat (compared to before), with tooth marks on both sides and thick and greasy tongue coating.
2. People with swollen skin and heavy moisture may have swollen skin and even skin erosion symptoms. In addition, sticky stool, dizzy mind, heavy body, and itchy skin are also common manifestations of heavy moisture. When it comes to the "culprit" that causes heavy humidity, you can't just blame the weather, some bad habits in life will also attract humidity, and those who are caught should change it quickly!
3 bad habits that attract moisture, I advise you not to have any of them! 1. When taking a bath, rubbing too hard When taking a bath, rubbing too hard or for too long will easily damage the "protective barrier" on the skin surface. In summer, if the fan or air conditioner blows again, the moisture will "take advantage of it" ". Moreover, the summer is humid and hot, and there are occasions when there are back to the southern sky , which gives the humidity an "opportunity". Suggestion: rub the bath in moderation, preferably every few days, so that the skin is not red or painful.
2. In the hot summer, everyone will rack their brains to think of various ways to "cool down". However, some greedy behaviors will also help to generate moisture! For example, blowing hard on the air conditioner or staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time, sleeping without drying your hair, sleeping on the floor often, eating raw and cold food, etc.
3. Irrational diet of food that attracts dampness will lead to dysfunction of the spleen and stomach.When the function of the spleen and stomach is damaged, the water and dampness will be abnormally transported and transformed, resulting in the endogenous moisture. Therefore, the following foods that are easy to get wet should be avoided. Spicy foods: such as spicy crayfish, hot pot, etc., eating too much will generate internal heat, which will easily increase the humidity. Cold food: Food that is too cold can easily damage the spleen and stomach, which will greatly contribute to the power of dampness. moist and hot fruits: such as mango , pineapple, durian , eating too much will also contribute to the power of moisture.
Drinking herbal tea indiscriminately : heat-clearing and detoxifying types of herbal teas, such as Bingsha herbal tea, 24 flavor herbal tea, etc., nature and flavor are relatively cold, frequent drinking can also lead to spleen and stomach deficiency and further increase moisture.
As the saying goes, "dampness makes a hundred sick people", although it is a bit exaggerated, but moisture does affect everyone's normal life, and even makes people prone to illness. Therefore, today I will give you a few coupes for dehumidification at the bottom of the box -
5 major dehumidification coupes that must be used in summer, to help you drive away moisture and avoid getting sick.

Avoiding moisture from the outside should be careful not only of the moisture in the body, but also of the moisture in the external environment! Suggestions to avoid external humidity -
Close the windows in the morning and evening: the air humidity is the highest in these two periods, remember to close the doors and windows tightly, wait until the afternoon is relatively dry, and then open the windows for ventilation.
Play less in places with heavy humidity: such as woods, lakes, ponds, etc.
Monitor the humidity in the home: Put a hygrometer at home. If the indoor relative humidity is found to be higher than 70%, turn on the dehumidifier or the air conditioner to dehumidify in time.
Clothes are moisture-proof: the clothes are completely dried before wearing; the washed clothes should be placed in a ventilated and dry place; if you feel that they are not dry enough when you wear them, you can dry them in the sun or dry them with a hair dryer.
