What is moisture? Moisture is excess water that invades the body but cannot be expelled by the body. Adding cold air to moisture is called cold dampness, heating moisture is called damp heat, and following the wind is called rheumatism. Without removing moisture, taking too much medicine or supplements is useless. Gastrointestinal damp heat is a common symptom, mainly caused by eating a lot of spicy and greasy food, which leads to the imbalance of our digestive system. To treat gastrointestinal damp heat, it is best to eat more foods that clear heat and promote dampness in daily life.
The onset of gastrointestinal damp heat is relatively urgent, with common symptoms including nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting with acid water, diarrhea, etc. The feces have a foul odor, and the mood is often depressed. In addition, patients with damp and hot gastrointestinal conditions may also exhibit an unhealthy yellow color on their skin, accompanied by bad breath.
After understanding the symptoms, we can learn about what people with damp and hot gastrointestinal conditions should eat in their daily lives. Firstly, it is important to stay away from foods with strong flavors, such as barbecue, hot pot, fried foods, etc., and to exercise more and drink less alcohol in order to maintain a healthy body. You can eat some cool foods, such as winter melon, bitter gourd, mung beans, red beans, Job's tears, wheat, etc.
To take care of this disease, it is best to pay more attention in daily life and fundamentally solve the problem. It is essential to maintain good lifestyle and dietary habits in daily life. We should develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early every day, regularly ventilate indoors, try to use air conditioning as little as possible, and develop the habit of defecating at a fixed time every day. Persist in exercising every day until you sweat, and avoid sweating profusely as it can damage your vitality.
The above is the method of regulating stomach dampness and heat. Mild symptoms can be improved quickly through the above conditioning. If it is serious, it is recommended to go to TCM for diagnosis and treatment.
