Many friends feel that their moisture is heavier than , but they don’t know what kind of “wet” they are. The following are common classifications of moisture. Friends in need can take a look.
1. Exogenous moisture
Exogenous moisture is the "dampness evil" among the 6 external evils (wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire) that cause disease. There are many factors that cause it, such as humid climate, living in a humid house, not changing clothes in time after being exposed to rain, and wearing clothes soaked with sweat after exercise.
External dampness is negative, and it never fights alone. It always likes to "cooperate" with other evil spirits: The combination of moisture and wind evil is rheumatism, the combination of moisture and cold evil is cold dampness, and the combination of moisture and heat evil is damp heat .
1. Rheumatism
When we talk about "rheumatism", we may think of rheumatism most often, but "rheumatism" in traditional Chinese medicine is different from rheumatism. It refers to wind evil and moisture invade our human body together, and then cause various diseases or symptoms.
If we have "rheumatism" in our body, we may have symptoms such as headache, fever, less urine, sore and painful joints, and the inability to bend and stretch normally.
2. Cold and dampness
Cold and dampness means that cold evil and moisture invade the human body together. At this time, we will be more afraid of cold . When encountering that kind of cold weather, the cold feeling will penetrate deeper into the bone marrow than usual, and we will be more afraid of cold than usual.
In addition to being afraid of cold, excessive cold and dampness may also damage the spleen, causing spleen deficiency, and then hindering the normal operation of qi and blood in our body. The physical manifestation is that we may always feel uncomfortable and painful in joints and muscles, and may develop knee arthritis, elbow arthritis, etc..
However, compared to friends in the north, friends in the south are more susceptible to cold and dampness, because it rains more and is more humid than in the north.
3. Damp heat
Damp heat mostly occurs in summer. Common symptoms include being afraid of heat, loss of appetite, feeling heavy, prone to sleepiness, and even headaches.
This is because summer is very hot and rains a lot. The pores on our skin are often open, and moisture is more likely to invade the human body with the help of heat, making us feel very uncomfortable.
2. Internal dampness
There are two main reasons for the generation of internal dampness.
First, is a bad living habit . Some friends are under great pressure at work, so they like to eat very greasy, sweet and delicate foods. From time to time, they also eat raw, cold fruits and strong-flavored foods to relax their mind, and they accidentally eat too much.
All of the above factors can easily lead to the inability of the spleen to function properly to transport nutrients, causing moisture to grow from within and water to stop accumulating.
Secondly, the function of the internal organs is weak, resulting in abnormal water and liquid metabolism in the human body.
In terms of organ function, the body's water-liquid metabolism is completed centered on the three internal organs: spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Among them, the spleen governs transportation and transformation . If the spleen is deficient, transportation and transformation will be unfavorable and water and moisture will remain, which will lead to heavy moisture in the body;
kidneys govern water, and is responsible for the metabolism of water and liquid in our body, so, if If the kidneys are relatively weak, it will cause the body's water metabolism to be unfavorable, causing us to suffer from sub-health conditions such as heavy moisture and edema;
The lungs have the effect of spreading and reducing water, , and during the exhalation process of the lungs, a small amount of water is also discharged. Once the lungs are weak, they will not be able to transport water throughout the body normally, causing water to accumulate and become overweight.
In short, exogenous dampness and endogenous dampness interact with each other. Although exogenous dampness is caused by moisture in the external environment, moisture entering the body can also damage the spleen.
The main function of the spleen is to transport water and water. After the spleen is injured, dampness and turbidity will grow inward, and endogenous dampness arises from this. On the other hand, spleen deficiency will have a poor function of transporting and transforming water and grain essence, which will easily lead to inability to transform water and dampness in the body. At the same time, the body will easily feel external dampness.
I will share the content about moisture here today. At the same time, I welcome friends to share their understanding of moisture in the comment area or private message me, or share their experiences and feelings in the process of removing moisture.
