Traditional Chinese medicine prescription for removing dampness

Excessive moisture in the body not only makes people tired and lack of energy, but also makes it difficult to get rid of obesity. Because of the heavy moisture in the body, the metabolism will be slow and it will be difficult to lose weight. If women have too much moisture, it can also lead to a series of gynecological diseases such as uterine cold, irregular menstruation, etc. If men have too much moisture, they are prone to bad breath. Therefore, it is urgent to remove moisture from the body. Here are some recommended Chinese herbal prescriptions for removing dampness.

1. Wuling Powder:

Thick tongue coating is a thick and greasy layer that covers the entire tongue, and there is saliva on the tongue coating. This tongue pattern is a manifestation of heavy water and dampness in the body. Since the problem of water and dampness mainly occurs in the bladder, we can use Wuling San. The composition of Wuling Powder is: Poria cocos, Poria cocos, Zedoaria

Diarrhea, Atractylodes macrocephala, cinnamon twig. Poria dispels dampness, Atractylodes macrocephala nourishes the spleen, cinnamon twig warms the yang and transforms qi, and Poria and Alisma orientalis both drain dampness from the bladder meridian and kidney meridian. In the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", this prescription treats symptoms including: difficulty urinating, polydipsia, mild fever, thirst for water and vomiting after drinking water, etc.

3. When treating people with heavy dampness, Patchouli and Cymbidium are often used. Patchouli and Cymbidium are used in combination with other dehumidifying medicines, and the effects are very good, often with immediate results. Use these two herbs together with Sanren Decoction, usually 3 grams or 6 grams each, and then add them when the marked medicine is almost done. This is the method of using aromatic drugs. Generally, if they are boiled for a long time, the aromatic substances will evaporate, so it is best to "add them later", and add them five minutes before turning off the fire.

This way the active ingredients can be better retained. A thick and greasy tongue coating indicates heavy dampness. Pay attention to whether the dampness is in the upper, middle or lower part of the body. If it is mainly in the middle part, he will ask the Western doctor to stop the antibiotics, because antibiotics are cold, and coldness may make the dampness worse. Use Patchouli and Cymbidium, which often work immediately, and the fever will subside quickly and the patient will be safe.

2. Boil mung bean and red bean soup to relieve heat and dampness. Mung bean is the most common food and medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. Mung bean "tastes sweet and is cool in nature. It can clear away heat, clear phlegm and reduce gas, relieve irritability and heat, stop thirst, calm the mind, replenish the yin of the five internal organs, eliminate stomach fire, vomiting, vomiting blood, nosebleeds, hematuria, bloody stools, damp-heat diarrhea, swelling, and promote urination. It can treat erysipelas and urticaria, dry and astringent skin, constipation, carbuncle, acne, and burns, and relieve alcohol and poison, as well as various medicines (all of which are heat symptoms)". Among Zhang Jingyue's medical prescriptions, there is a recipe called "Mung Bean Drink". This recipe is just mung beans, "no matter how much", you can make soup and drink it at will. Zhang Jingyue also said that it should be "slightly cooked and drunk cold with clear soup". Note: Mung bean is cool in nature, and its main function is to dispel summer heat and clear away heat, so it is only suitable for people with heat symptoms. Zhang Jingyue did not say that you can drink mung bean soup when your spleen and stomach are weak and cold. Red beans are not as cool as mung beans, but they have a detoxifying effect and can also remove moisture. These two beans together have a very good dehumidifying effect and can improve skin rashes in hot summer days. You can use mung beans and red beans together, the amount is optional, a few dozen grams will do, boil them into soup, then add some rock sugar and drink it as a beverage. If the skin problem is a little more serious, you can use Danggui Kushen Pills to eliminate heat and toxicity. If it still has no effect, you may need to go to the hospital for treatment.
