Drinking boiled water does not remove dampness. Dietary approaches to eliminating dampness are many women's first choice. Pay attention to your diet and regularly consume foods that help reduce dampness, detoxify, and relieve swelling. Common options include winter melon with pork rib soup, coix seed (yi yi ren) soup, etc. Drinking an appropriate amount of warm water after exercise is also a way to promote sweating and eliminate dampness. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicines such as Shen Ling Bai Zhu San, Ren Shen Jian Pi Wan, Shi Du Qing Capsules, and Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan can be taken orally to regulate and treat dampness.
