Dr. Ding Yu
Ginger and red date tea helps remove dampness from the body. Ginger and red dates have the effects of inducing sweating, relieving exterior symptoms, and promoting meridian circulation. This tea can accelerate blood circulation and aid in expelling dampness from the body. However, excessive consumption should be avoided to prevent discomforts such as sore throat and yellow urine. For severe dampness, treatment with Shenling Baizhu Powder under a doctor's guidance is recommended. In terms of diet, include more dampness-resolving, mild foods such as red beans, pumpkin, winter melon, and lotus seeds.
