July is the 'best period' to remove dampness, protect three places, eat one thing, and not get sick in the second half of the year!
July is the best time to get rid of dampness. As the old saying goes, "winter disease cures in summer", using the heat of summer to combat diseases triggered by the cold of winter, such as dampness and cold.
As the saying goes, "The root of all diseases is dampness". After waking up in the morning, I feel unwell, feel tired, have a big stomach, numb hands and feet, and inflexible joints; my face always feels greasy, especially the oil on my nose, which can be unscrewed, and it is not refreshing at all. All kinds of signs show that the moisture cannot be stagnant in the body, and the moisture is heavy, and it will always be uncomfortable!
[Ten signs of heavy moisture on the body]
Hair oil, dandruff;
There are eye bags under the eyes, and the eyes are swollen in the early stage;
Long spots, many acne, dark skin tone;
The tongue coating is thick and sticky, and there are tooth marks on the tongue;
Fatigue and drowsiness;
Loss of appetite and indigestion;
Skin eczema and herpes;
The shape of the stool is attached to the toilet;
10, easy to constipation, face oil;
Many people immediately cupping or moxibustion as soon as they feel damp. Although this method has a certain effect, it is more prone to skin damage due to improper operation. Not only that, many people will have red marks on their bodies for more than half a month after cupping, which is extremely ugly, especially for women who love beauty, the damage to the skin is quite large.
Chinese medicine believes that if the moisture is not discharged, all diseases will not be cured! There are two kinds of wetness, one is natural wetness (external wetness), and the other is wetness produced by the body itself (internal wetness).
【How to get rid of moisture and keep your body refreshed? 】
July is the "best period" to remove dampness, protect three places, eat one thing, and not get sick in the second half of the year!
- Foot soaking and dehumidification
Soaking your feet in hot water every night can help flush out moisture from your body, make you feel refreshed, increase appetite, eliminate puffiness, promote sleep, and reduce spots and acne. Soaking feet can promote blood circulation, and drugs can be used to enhance the ability to remove dampness in the process of removing dampness. If there is too much water and the skin is itchy, you can use sophora flavescens, phellodendron, prickly ash and so on. And if the dampness is heavy and the spleen and stomach are indigestion, spleen-invigorating and appetizing medicines, such as Atractylodes, Atractylodes, etc., should be used.
- Protect three places
Three places on the warm body can be wet - ankles, leg joints, and navels; these three places are the most likely to breed moisture in the body parts, especially in summer and winter. Pay attention to the warmth of the three places, to protect the abdomen, knees, feet.
- Oral administration of dampness-removing soup
For people with damp-heat constitution, porridge and soup that remove dampness are the best choices. You can try red bean damp-free tea. The dampness-removing soup recommended by old Chinese medicine practitioners can be called the "originator" of dampness-removing, driving away dampness. Qi, worry-free, prepare coix seed, red bean, red bean, barley, orange peel, tartary buckwheat, Gorgon, gardenia, and licorice to boil and drink.
Coix seed: diuresis and dampness
Chixiaodou: detoxification and pus removal
Red beans: diuretic and swelling
Tartary buckwheat: dehumidification and detoxification
It takes a lot of time to gather the above-mentioned materials. I recommend a ready-made tea bag for everyone, which is very convenient. If you want to drink it, you can brew it with hot water for 1-3 minutes and then drink it.
Relax in your spare time. After work, drink some non-wet tea to dehumidify and avoid the skin damage caused by cupping and moxibustion. Be sure to remember to dehumidify yourself!
