Disease description:

I had a heavy dampness condition. After some time of调理 (regulation/treatment), I now often sweat. I'm not sure if this is a sign of improvement, and I'd like to know what reactions the body might have after eliminating dampness.

Post-elimination of dampness in the body is mainly observed through increased urination and excessive sweating in patients. Methods to expel dampness primarily involve a combination of medication, diet, and physical exercise, which help eliminate internal dampness. For example, during exercise, the rise in body temperature and profuse sweating are manifestations of the body expelling dampness. Additionally, many patients experience significantly increased urine output and yellowish urine after taking medication—these are also signs of dampness elimination from the body.
