Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes targeted regulation and treatment, with corresponding solutions for conditions such as cold-dampness, damp-heat, and even complex patterns of cold and heat. Today, let's discuss how to differentiate and address these conditions.

If you constantly feel tired and lack energy, are reluctant to move, experience a foggy mind all day, have poor appetite and bloating, and suffer from diarrhea after eating cold foods, and if you observe a white tongue coating and a slippery, moist tongue surface when sticking out your tongue, these are signs of cold-dampness.

Always use under the guidance of a professional physician based on proper syndrome differentiation.
