The weather has been changeable lately, and many people have clearly felt that their bodies are being plagued by dampness.I always feel heavy in my body and dizzy in my head. I feel bloated after eating, and my stool is loose and sticky to the toilet. When I stick out my tongue, it appears white and greasy. This is actually caused by the spleen being trapped by dampness, leading to a decline in its transportation and transformation functions.
Dampness may seem insignificant, but it is the root cause of many health issues. Long-term exposure to dampness not only leads to mental fatigue but also gradually impairs the function of the spleen and stomach, thereby affecting nutrient absorption. For this reason, many people consciously start to eliminate dampness, but most only address the symptoms rather than the root cause.
When it comes to dispelling dampness, many people's first thought is to use poria cocos and dried tangerine peel, finding it simple and convenient. AlthoughPoria can strengthen the spleen and drain dampness, while tangerine peel can regulate qi and strengthen the spleen. However, for deep-seated dampness that has already trapped the spleen and stomach, the potency of these two herbs is far from sufficient.Many people have been drinking for a long time and only feel temporarily comfortable, but the dampness has not been completely expelled. It will recur soon because they have not found the core idea of dispelling dampness.
